DIVORCE
“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” ― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy wrote that in 1878, long before 'family law' was a thing, but no one has ever so neatly summed up family law.
Divorce is at the heart of family law. The adversarial nature of the court process polarizes divorcing spouses. Polarization in families is extremely destructive, and makes unhappy families even more unhappy. Fortunately, in family law there are other options.
Wysocki Law understands that most divorcing spouses will benefit from peaceful divorce. We know that equipped with the right information and supporting professionals, divorcing spouses are well positioned to discover durable solutions that best serve their unique families.
Our preferred process for handling divorces is collaborative, or at least cooperative. At a minimum, we encourage our clients to encourage their spouses to retain collaboratively trained attorneys. We find that engaging collaboratively trained attorneys reduces the financial and emotional toll of divorce, while empowering families to creatively plan and problem solve.

Our philosophy of divorce
Respectful divorce sets families up to thrive post-divorce.
Peaceful divorce empowers families to find creative solutions that work for everyone - parents, kids, extended family and community.
Choosing a collaboratively trained attorney for each spouse results in a divorce process that resembles peace, not war.
Peace is profitable; conflict is expensive.
Most divorcing couples can achieve a peaceful divorce.
When both spouses, together, decide to divorce peacefully, the divorcing couple can keep their personal issues and information private, and the costs lower.
They can choose a supportive process that empowers the them to make their own informed decisions, in furtherance of the long-term well-being of their family in two homes.
You may have heard horror stories about vicious courtroom battles where families are traumatized and kids' college savings are squandered on attorney fees. Most divorcing couples do not need to go through that.
Wysocki Law is here to guide our clients through a peaceful divorce process to a healthy outcome and a hopeful start to a new life.
