Having been a child of divorce and formerly divorced myself, I am extremely focused and dedicated to making the divorce process better for individuals and especially families with children, who need to maintain a relationship into the future.  I am a Past President of the New Jersey Collaborative Law and remain on the board.  I am currently President Elect for the New Jersey Chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, having received the Phil Sobel Award for my dedication to helping divorcing families.  I am also a board member of the Justice Marie Garibaldi Alternative Dispute Resolution Inn of Court, dedicated to all types of processes for dispute resolution without necessarily going to court.
