A fair and equitable division of property and debts betweeen spouses is her goal when assisting you with a divorce. She advocates in your child's best interests when striving to maintain or change custody for you. Your child's needs and welfare as well as your personal circumstances are important to Patrice when seeking appropriate child support or spousal maintenance. The necessity of continuing your parent and child relationship motivates her to promote a suitable visitation or parenting access schedule with your child.

If advocacy is not necessary in your case, Patrice is qualified to facilitate mediation for all your fmaily law concerns.
