My ex Husband and I used Colin Family Mediation Group, and it was the best decision we could have…read moremade in a very emotional and financially draining process. I don't think divorce is ever easy, but Rick and Ellice certainly saved us from what was looking like a complete nightmare. We were on a hamster wheel of disagreements and back and forth, each one with the hefty price tag of our lawyers. I was skeptical that anyone could help us get to a point where we could agree on anything. Rick and Ellice were both such a blessing. They worked well as a team to keep us on topic, remain objective, help unscramble the emotions and get to the bottom of what needed to be sorted out. They worked really well as a team and made me feel like I was being heard- finally! They also had a lot of knowledge in regards to the law, and what was actually fair. In the end, we were able to avoid both of the trials that were set, and comet our own, non-traditional agreement that we felt worked best for us, and kept the best interest of our children at heart. We had a total of 4 sessions with them, it was a fraction of the cost of legal fees, and when we finally signed our agreement, it was like a weight of 1000lbs was lifted from both of us. I am very thankful for the experience.

I reached out to her earlier this year wondering if she has any insight into the situation I was in, and she was so helpful. She not only has and shares the knowledge to help others, but also she deeply cares about them. When she listened to me, I felt I was "heard". Then she recommended a few professionals and how to evaluate them. I also had the opportunity to meet with one of the mediators in her group, Dorothy Taft, who was also caring and professional. I highly recommend Colin Family Mediation Group.
