John, a doctor, came to the office because he had discovered that his wife, Linda, was having an affair, and he wanted to file for divorce. Despite being angry about the affair, he wanted to complete the divorce with minimal disruption for their two young children.

Had they hired aggressive attorneys to litigate the divorce, the civility between them likely would have been quickly destroyed, as John's attorney would likely have made an issue about the affair. This would have made conversations regarding custody very difficult.

We spent our first meeting creating a snapshot of the marital assets. We agreed that we needed additional information regarding the value of certain assets, which the parties obtained themselves without the usual course of sending subpoenas or hiring appraisers.

After several meetings, the parties reached an agreement. In spite of the painful cause of the divorce, the parties were able to complete the process quickly and discretely.
