What is a Family Transition Expert?
A family transition expert is trained and licensed in psychology and mental health and specializes in providing therapeutic support to individuals and families navigating the challenges of divorce. They play a vital role in the divorce process by focusing on the emotional well-being and mental health aspects of the family.
​
A family transition expert works alongside our legal and financial professionals to facilitate open and constructive communication between spouses. They help individuals express their concerns, emotions, and needs in a safe and supportive environment. The family transition expert promotes understanding, empathy, and effective problem-solving, fostering healthier relationships and minimizing conflicts.
​
Through individual and family sessions, the family transition expert assists in developing strategies for effective co-parenting, managing stress, and addressing the emotional impact of the divorce on both adults and children. They provide guidance, tools, and resources to help families adapt to the changes and create a positive post-divorce environment for everyone involved.

Will I have my own lawyer to protect my interests?Absolutely. The difference is that your lawyer is committed to negotiating an acceptable resolution for you and not to wasting your hard earned money on "preparing a case" in the hope of persuading a total stranger, the judge, to take your side. Over 89% of divorce cases settle prior to trial. Why waste your time and money preparing for something that won't happen? Instead, your lawyer can focus on your needs and wants after you are divorced and dedicate all of his or her time and energy in achieving as many of those as possible. You will always have attorney confidentiality and will talk to your attorney in private to prepare for negotiation sessions and at any other time you need to. Strategic, Streamlined and Supported.

How much does divorce cost?No one can tell you what a traditional or litigated divorce will cost. That is because most lawyers bill by the hour and the client has no way of anticipating how many hours will be spent on his or her case. You have no control over what actions the lawyer deems necessary or how long those may take. At the end of each month, you will get a bill and be asked to pay it. One month is may be minimal and the next it may be thousands of dollars. And each spouse will be paying their lawyer on demand. It's liking going to the grocery store where your lawyer gets to put into the cart whatever they want and you have to pay for it! At Consensus, our team will get to know your family, evaluate your case, decide what needs to be done to complete your parenting agreement and the division of your assets and liabilities and then give you a price. Upfront. Before you begin. One price, one place, one team.
