This is a 20-minute call. We cover as much as we can and stop at twenty minutes. If more is needed, we will say what the next step is and what it would cost.

What people bring to a 20-minute call
Typical situations, not quotes — not tied to any one person.
- A separation agreement someone else drafted, and a second opinion before signing
- A parenting schedule that looked workable on paper and isn't holding up in practice
- A first conversation about separating, before anything has been filed
- A support amount that doesn't look right, and no idea how it should have been calculated
In their own words
“My separation agreement stayed on the fee I was quoted, even with an extra meeting to sort out the details.”
