“I had never heard of a collaborative divorce until someone recommended Kathleen Franco.  My experience with Kathleen was exceptional.  I came out a better person from my experience with her.  She is passionately trying to change the often contentious divorce process to a much more collaborative process where both parties come out feeling empowered, and whole. This enables them to thrive post divorce, and co-parent in a positive way.  My case was very high conflict, and my ex and I were very concerned about having to go to court, spending a lot of money, and then having the court make decisions for us.  We ended up using Kathleen as a mediator, and the outcome was much better than anticipated.  We didn’t end up in court, and with Kathleen’s amazing approach to conflict resolution we were able to negotiate ourselves, and make our own decisions.  I can’t imagine going though such a challenging process without her.  She is brilliant, intuitive, warm, and compassionate.  I highly recommend consulting with Kathleen before entering into the divorce process.”                                                 – Anne Oberg
