Why Us

Most people don’t realize the damage that vague agreements can cause — until they’re already suffering in the aftermath.

By then, it’s too late.
The kids are confused.
The money’s gone.
Your attorney won’t return your call.

You thought you had a plan.

But it was filled with confusing schedules, vague references, and clunky legal language that no one fully explained to you.
You were overwhelmed.
How could you know what to ask?

At DSNW, we don’t build documents designed to fail slowly.
We don’t write “reserved”, knowing you’ll have to return.
We don’t write “TBD” beside your future.
And we don’t write ourselves into your dispute clause to guarantee ourselves a paycheck later.

We help you make decisions that protect your family.
We help you draft agreements that work for you.
Solutions that grow with you and allow you to move forward.

We lead so your divorce doesn’t become another full-time job.
We lead so your children don’t grow up between contradictions.
We teach you how to work together in divorce: how to communicate, how to make decisions, how to share expenses, how to resolve conflict, and so much more.

We design a solid framework, hoping you won’t need to come back.
We equip you for the next chapter of your life.
We help you create your new normal.

We don’t plan for re-litigation.
We plan for durability.

We don’t design documents that require a second round of legal dispute.
We design for the day your child gets their driver’s license.
For the summer your co-parent wants to take them abroad.
For the orthodontist’s payment plan, overnight camp, driver’s ed, freshman dorm deposit, etc.

We don’t write “TBD.”
We don’t write “reserved,” because “reserved” just means conflict postponed.

We guide you through the decisions now — while you’re both present, focused, and supported — so you don’t have to unravel everything later, with attorneys billing by the hour and no one remembering what mattered.

We help you think ahead. Not because we expect life to go perfectly.
But because when it doesn’t, you’ll already have a map.

These are your children.
This is your money.
This is your future.

You should be the one making the decisions.
Not a stranger in a black robe.
Not an attorney who benefits from the very conflict you’re trying to avoid.

Not someone whose incentives are tied to conflict, not resolution.

If you could make decisions easily together, you wouldn’t be here.
You’re not broken — you’re overwhelmed.
The stakes are high. The pain is real.
You need help. That doesn’t make you weak. It makes you ready.

You need someone who can hold space for hard conversations.
Someone who can name the patterns without judgment.
Someone who has walked hundreds of families through this process — not just to the finish line, but through it, with clarity and integrity intact.

That’s what we do.

We don’t just help you divide things.
We help you focus on what matters to you.
We help you say, This is ours to handle. Let’s do it well.

We don’t forget your story.
We don’t move on the moment the documents are signed.
We remember your children’s names and what sports they play.
We remember who was afraid to lose the house, and who couldn’t imagine splitting holidays.
We remember the quiet agreement you made about calling your daughter on her birthday, even if it’s not “your day.”
We remember because we care — deeply.

This work stays with us.
Because it’s not just legal. It’s personal.
And no matter what your case file says — you’re not just a case.

We help you understand the agreements you’re making — not just rush you to sign them.
Because when you have agengy, when you feel heard, when you’ve had time to think without pressure or fear, that’s when you have buy-in.
And buy-in is what creates stability.

That’s the real predictor of success — not just in mediation, but in how your family functions afterward.

You’ve already had success in your marriage. You’ve built a life, a home, a family.

Now it’s time for the next chapter.

We can help you turn the page — and write it together.
