Not only are they great at their jobs, but they also really care.

The Divorce With a Plan Methodology

Every divorce or custody case can feel overwhelming—but our structured planning process brings order to the chaos. We don’t just react to what’s happening; we build a strategy around it.

From your first call to the final hearing, we help you stay focused on your goals, not stuck in the past.

STEP ONE:

Call (240) 269-3592 to schedule your consultation. This is where it all begins. We’ll take time to understand what’s going on, what matters most to you, and what kind of future you want to build.

STEP TWO:

We’ll create a customized legal strategy. Once we understand your priorities, we map out a clear, realistic plan tailored to your situation. You’ll walk away with defined next steps and a solid sense of direction.

From there, we move through each stage of the process—prepared, intentional, and focused on outcomes that serve your long-term needs.

1

Scheduling Conference

This is your case’s official kickoff. The court sets the calendar, identifies issues, and lays out deadlines. We come in ready—ensuring that you’re showing up with a clear understanding of your strengths, challenges, and opportunities.
2

Ongoing Case Development + Monthly Reviews

Between court dates, we keep things moving. We gather evidence, prepare filings, and adjust strategy as needed. Every month, you’ll get a review letter that explains exactly what’s happened, what we’ve been working on, and what’s coming next so that you’re never left wondering where things stand.
3

Settlement Conference

This is your opportunity to explore resolution before trial. By now, we’ll have exchanged key evidence and clarified what each side wants. We’ll help you evaluate your options, understand your leverage, and decide whether a fair agreement is possible, or whether we keep moving forward.

15 Days Before Trial

This is where it all comes into focus. We’ll walk through every possible outcome and make sure you’re ready—logistically, emotionally, and strategically. Whether your case is resolved at the last minute or goes before a judge, you’ll be making decisions from a place of clarity and control.

Guiding You Through Life’s Transitions

With compassion, skill, and consistent communication, we keep your priorities at the center of every decision. For us, helping you navigate a major life transition with dignity and direction is never something we take lightly.
