Tell us something good
- Listen as Cheryl relates how she helped a couple who had been trying to get divorced for eight years and couldn’t come to an agreement on the valuation and equity split on the family home because they had each put in money that was sole and separate as well as community property dollars. She worked with the couple over a few sessions to explain what would be involved in litigating the split in terms of time, resources and money; she then helped them come to an agreement on the equity split.
