Sandra has served on the nonprofit board of directors of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois, where she has held the office of President.

About Michele Traina
Michele is a performer and educator with over 15 years of onstage and offstage experience in using performance to help people, heal, grow, and learn. She earned a Theatre Degree from Adelphi University in 2003 and toured throughout the country for 5 years performing in various musicals and children's theatre productions and training at Upright Citizens Brigade. Michele earned a Master's in Educational Theatre from NYU in 2009, she was a teacher in Trenton for 3 years where she developed a performing arts program for urban youth in an alternative charter school. The school was shut down by NJ in 2012 and Michele took some time off to enjoy my newborn daughter Grace. Shortly after she started my own company Propbox Players designed to engage, excite, and educate using theatre for the youngest thespians. Geared towards infant to early childhood, Michele reshaped Propbox Players to be one of the only theatre companies that specializes in inclusion performances. This was inspired by my daughter's developmental delays and how cognitive development is enhanced through role play and movement. Propbox Players performances are interactive comedic retellings of fairy tales and original concepts. In going through a divorce, she took a theatre teacher position in Hoboken Public School district and earned a supervisor and principal certification in the state of New Jersey. As an educator, Michele has built relationships and collaborations with Broadway Licensing, McCarter Theatre, The State Theater, and multiple colleges that connected my students to artistic and academic opportunities. Recently Michele transitioned back to performing full time because of the success Divorce Diaries has had and opportunities to travel with the show throughout the country. Divorce Diaries is performed monthly in NYC and NJ and has been performed in Las Vegas, Chicago, Nashville, Huntsville, Birmingham, Naples, and Albany to name a few. It follows my post-divorce journey as a single mom teaching kids with special needs and dating men with special needs. The success of Divorce Diaries and Propbox Players offers with school districts and libraries showed me that it was time to leave a fulltime position as an educator for a school district and focus on my brands under my name. Michele is a performer and educator that uses humor to heal, grow, learn, and inspire one to live its best life.

There is a saying that you can divorce your spouse, but you cannot divorce your kids. In short, you will need to interact with your ex-spouse well past the signing of the divorce decree. For some this means a nurturing co-parenting relationship. For others, this can represent a means to continue a dysfunctional relationship. In this case, the children become a weapon with which to inflict harm. While undoubtedly bad for the ex-spouses, this can also cause lasting damage to the children involved.

It is often said an ounce of prevention and this is especially relevant in the context of marriage and divorce. Many couples have the basis of a strong relationship, but they let the challenges of life marriage and parenthood create wedges that ultimately doom the marriage. In some cases, a bit of help could have patched these cracks and saved the family.
SPONSORED BY DIVORCE MORTGAGE PRO, A MEMBER OF THE SPLITREADY DIVORCE PRO NETWORK - www.divorcemortgagepro.com. Mortgage can be challenging under the best of circumstances, but, in the event of a divorce, getting a loan can be even more challenging. Mistakes can cost you money and even your home. Go with a pro and make sure you are covered.

About Pamela
Pamela graduated from Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois, Chicago (1982) with an MSW. Pamela began as a social worker in a hospital; advanced to clinical specialty areas where she also taught populations from volunteers to pastoral care interns and internal medicine residents; advanced to supervisor of clinical social workers and volunteered at hospice and the American Cancer Society, rising to leadership positions. After developing the hospital case management department, in 1995 she opened her private practice to include consulting and teaching and quickly developed and grew a group practice of clinicians with insurance contracts and employee assistance program (EAP) companies.

Pamela is frequently requested speaker at conferences and workshops, and have conducted basic and advanced training on a number of clinical issues and topics.

Normal is a relative term, but in every society and culture there are generally traditional expectations of family and relationships. This is, however, not a reflection of the real lifestyles of a culture. Behind close doors many people choose alternative or non-traditional lifestyles. This carries over to couples where swinging or polyamorous families can be healthy and affirming. These non-traditional family arrangements can be complex to manage socially and societally. When divorce happens this can be amplified as our culture and legal system are not always equipped to deal with these complexities.

In 2018, she merged with Alexandra and Alison to form Greenwich Law Group, LLC. Jessica has practiced law since 2003 and has concentrated her practice in family law for more than a decade.

Although Jessica endeavors to resolve cases through amicable negotiations, she is an active enthusiastic, and experienced litigator who effectively represents her clients in litigation when required. Jessica strongly believes in the ability of clients to use alternative dispute resolution, including Collaborative Law and mediation, to retain control of the dissolution process and prevent the often destructive involvement of the Courts. Because of Jessica’s experience, she is able to help clients determine the best dissolution process for their individual family and situational needs.
In addition to dissolution of marriage and post-decree matters, Jessica handles preparation and negotiation of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, as well as attorney-assisted mediation, and estate planning for individuals, couples, and families.
Outside of the practice of law, Jessica has worked with many financial institutions both domestically and internationally.

As a mother to young children and former financial professional, Jessica understands the value of well crafted parenting and financial plans in smoothing the way during periods of transition.

Divorce can take a huge toll on a person. Cortisol increases, stress levels increase, and sleep is affected. You may even find that you miss those all-important exercise sessions. Mentally, feelings of isolation and fear can crowd out any positive or optimistic feelings. Without deliberate and active management, the adverse impact on your health and well-being can be significant.

Divorce can take a huge toll on a person. Cortisol increases, stress levels increase, and sleep is affected. You may even find that you miss those all-important exercise sessions. Mentally, feelings of isolation and fear can crowd out any positive or optimistic feelings. Without deliberate and active management, the adverse impact on your health and well-being can be significant.

Feeling down sometimes is a part of life but feeling unhappy can be something more than a passing phase. When sadness becomes depression, it can be time to get help. Depression can not only affect your life and those around you, it can also lead to problems with your health and well-being. Divorce is a life event that can cause depression or worsen existing depression related issues and because of this, it is essential to be pro-active in identifying and dealing with potential depression.
Some statistics about depression:
• Major depressive disorder affects approximately 17.3 million American adults, or about 7.1% of the U.S. population age 18 and older, in a given year. (National Institute of Mental Health “Major Depression”, 2017)
• Major depressive disorder is more prevalent in women than in men. (Journal of the American Medical Association, 2003; Jun 18; 289(23): 3095-105)
• Depression is the cause of over two-thirds of the 30,000 reported suicides in the U.S. each year. (White House Conference on Mental Health, 1999)
• Up to 80% of those treated for depression show an improvement in their symptoms generally within four to six weeks of beginning medication, psychotherapy, attending support groups or a combination of these treatments. (National Institute of Health, 1998)
• Despite its high treatment success rate, nearly two out of three people suffering with depression do not actively seek nor receive proper treatment. (DBSA, 1996)

Divorcing couples often go down an obvious and incomplete path for resolution and ignore the spiritual side of things. Regardless of a person’s particular preferred flavor of religion or philosophy, they likely espouse some belief system that helps to reconcile the difficulties that they face in everyday life, but many times these can be disconnected with or even questioned throughout their navigation through the divorce process, which can hamper resolution of the divorce and the healing after.

Taxes are an unavoidable and sometimes challenging part of life. Under the best of circumstances, significant planning is essential in optimizing your financial circumstances. In situations such as divorce the requirement for a strategy becomes even more important as divorcing couples need to plan for future taxes and separate households. There can even sometimes be the need for forensic help to fully negotiate an equitable agreement and to plan for the future.

While there are volumes of jokes about the challenges of marriage, matrimony is not always humorous. Married couples face a lot of obstacles to longevity and mutual understanding, which can metastasize. Unfortunately, these relationship killers can end in separation and divorce. When properly addressed, however, many couples can better accept one another and remain together. Even when divorce happens, this understanding can assist divorced couples successfully work together for continued shared responsibilities such as co-parenting. The answer in many cases is to get a little help through therapy.
Therapy is defined as a treatment intended to relieve or heal. It is an amazing tool to understand the root of relationship issues to productively work through them. Unfortunately, therapy can also be associated with the stigmatized view that seeking help is a sign of mental illness or weakness and, as a result, couples avoid considering it. Our guest this episode has shown the value of the former definition.

Generally, in marriage, a couple works together to build a life and future. A large part of this is financial. Bank accounts, retirement accounts, real estate and many other types of financial instruments become the basis of this plan. When a split happens, the divorcing couple needs to divide the marital assets fairly and efficiently to get the best chance at a new start. This process, however, must be approached with caution as mistakes can be costly. It is essential for divorcing couples to deliberately plan for the split and involve a financial professional who is trained and experienced in the unique challenges that come with untangling the finances.

Generally, in marriage, a couple works together to build a life and future. A large part of this is financial.

This process, however, must be approached with some deal of caution as mistakes can be costly.

Often times, people considering divorce fail to take their specific needs and objectives into account during the selection process in favor of a referral from a family member, friend or colleague that fails to take their specific situation into account. Additionally, they homogenize the skills and capabilities of prospective attorneys during the shopping process. In the end, this introduces the potential for mismatch into their divorce which can add cost and inefficiency.

Meditation is undoubtedly and indisputably beneficial to its practitioners. While the specific techniques and intensity can vary substantially, the benefits remain constant. These benefits include stress reduction, positive mood and outlook, better sleep and clearer decision making. These can help in every day life, but they can be especially helpful during divorce.
Join us for a discussion with Patrick Kalscheur from Kalscheur Conscious Family Law about how he has integrated meditation into his practice and the positive impact that doing so has brought.

He has been on the board of directors of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois from 2015 to the present, and has written articles and moderated discussions with the Chicago Bar Association and the DePaul College of Law on the benefits of the collaborative process. He is also active in local bar associations, including the Illinois State Bar Association and Chicago Bar Association—where he was the chair of the domestic relations committee (2013-2014); He currently serves on the boards of community organizations (Chicago Bar Foundation and DePaul College of Law Family Law Center); and he has been recognized by his peers as an exceptional family law attorney (Super Lawyers Rising Star (2016, 2017), Leading Lawyer (2016, 2017), and Emerging Lawyer (2016, 2017)
Prior to opening Kalscheur Conscious Family Law, Patrick worked for one of Chicago’s largest and most respected family law firms for high net worth individuals, and one of the country’s best and largest general litigation law firms. These experiences inform his understanding of what is right and wrong about our court system and its approach to family law disputes. He helps my clients avoid the pitfalls in the system, and he can offer these services to an economically diverse clientele.
He received his Juris Doctor degree from DePaul University College of Law, where he received many distinctions, including graduating Order of the Coif and Summa Cum Laude. He also has numerous additional training and certifications in Collaborative Law, Mediation, and Litigation.

We live in a time of unparalleled customization. From the choices of what to watch on TV to the set-up of the home screen on a phone, consumers demand the ability to manage their lives how they want. Divorce is no different and more and more couples are seeking ways to control the divorce process, control the costs and meet their desired objectives.
Enter unbundled legal services or limited scope representation as it is sometimes called. Under this model divorcing individuals work with their attorney to clearly identify the scope of what the attorney will do and the related cost. When coupled with the available options for divorcing individuals to do their own research and planning, this can e a very powerful and cost effective option.
Join us for a discussion with Sandra Crawford about unbundled legal services as they relate to divorce.
About Sandra Crawford
For the past 29 years Sandra has dedicated her legal practice to educating and leading clients to the clearest path to resolution of their unique legal issues. She helps distressed families and partnerships move out of conflict using the most appropriate legal dispute resolution model, be that: the Collaborative Practice, mediation, limited scope representation or litigation. As legal disputes and status adjustments (like dissolutions of marriages or partnerships) can be costly in terms of money, time lost, and emotional stress, it is critical for people facing such life changing events to be educated about and understand clearly their legal options and the various paths to resolution available before proceeding.
Sandra received her undergraduate degree from DePaul University in 1984 and her Juris Doctorate from the John Marshall Law School in 1989. She has been a practicing mediator since 1994 and was among the first attorneys in Illinois to be trained in the Collaborative Law model of dispute resolution when the model was introduced here in 2001. Sandra’s areas of concentration are Family Law, Mediation, and Real Estate She works throughout Cook and the surrounding counties.
Sandra has served on the nonprofit board of directors of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois, where she has held the office of President. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Illinois Bar Foundation, which administers grants and funding for legal services agencies. She was a two term member of the Illinois State Bar Association Assembly and Chair of the ISBA’s Women in the Law Committee. Sandra has been repeatedly nominated by her peers, evaluated and selected as an Illinois Super Lawyer – a group which includes only five percent of all the attorneys in her jurisdiction.

The formal definition of Collaborative Divorce is a process by which divorcing couples work with their lawyers and other professionals in order to avoid the uncertain outcome of court and to achieve a settlement that best meets the specific needs of both parties and their children without the underlying threat of litigation. The process allows parties to have a fair settlement. The voluntary process is initiated when the couple signs a contract (a "participation agreement") binding each other to the process and disqualifying their respective lawyer's right to represent either one in any future family-related litigation. The formal definition, however, only tells part of the story. In practice, Collaborative Divorce is an productive and civilized way to unwind a marriage.
Join us for a discussion with Jessica Malmquist, Co-Founder of Greenwich Law Group, LLC and President of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois. Jessica’s family law practice is based on an in-depth understanding of the emotional, practical and financial elements involved in the dissolution of a marriage or post-decree matter, particularly when the allocation of parental responsibilities, maintenance, child support and parenting time are involved.

Statistics show that roughly 15% to 30% of divorces can be classified as high conflict. While this is a a minority of divorces, the ripple effect and collateral damage that high conflict divorces can cause far eclipses this. It is, therefore, essential to be able to understand and deal with high conflict divorce situations to minimize the impact that high conflict divorce can cause.
Join us for a great conversation with Colleen Honquest, a certified divorce coach and an expert in high conflict divorce. Colleen is also the founder of the The Divorce Coalition.

Americans undoubtedly have a lot of stuff. Some interesting statistics below shed light on just how much.
Here are 21 surprising statistics about our clutter that help us understand how big of a problem our accumulation has actually become.
-
There are 300,000 items in the average American home (LA Times).
-
The average size of the American home has nearly tripled in size over the past 50 years (NPR).
-
And still, 1 out of every 10 Americans rent offsite storage—the fastest growing segment of the commercial real estate industry over the past four decades. (New York Times Magazine).
-
While 25% of people with two-car garages don’t have room to park cars inside them and 32% only have room for one vehicle. (U.S. Department of Energy).
-
The United States has upward of 50,000 storage facilities, more than five times the number of Starbucks. Currently, there is 7.3 square feet of self storage space for every man, woman and child in the nation. Thus, it is physically possible that every American could stand—all at the same time—under the total canopy of self storage roofing (SSA).
-
