Thank you for simplifying this for us! We didn’t know how to start, or how to figure things out, and your guidance really made a difference for us.

I'm so glad we used mediation. I was afraid mediation would mean being nice and giving up what I wanted. Instead, Laurie's different ideas helped both of us get what we wanted. Thanks, Laurie!
