What Is a Divorce Roadmap Session?

A Divorce Roadmap Session is a structured, confidential meeting designed to help you understand your individual divorce options before taking any action. Many attorneys offer free 30-minute consultations to go over just the basics of your situation, but most of the time, 30 minutes is not enough to help you truly understand what lies ahead.

Unlike these traditional attorney consultations that focus on litigation strategy, our consultation centers on getting clear on rights and obligations, separating emotions from reality, and informed decision-making. It is especially valuable for people who want to protect children, assets, and long-term relationships while navigating separation or divorce. We offer flat fee consultations in 60, 90 and 120 minute increments, depending on your needs and budget. The goal will be to provide you with a roadmap of options, timing, and reasonable outcome.  

The consultation is informational only, to help you orient yourself to next steps. You are not obligated or expected to hire us to assist you with your divorce should you decide to move forward, but if you do ask us for help, a new advocacy relationship would be established.
