Don't Let Your Emotions Get the Better of You

Many people experience a moment of "temporary insanity" during a tumultuous time in their life. We encourage every client who comes to our office seeking a divorce to think long term. Rational decisions must be made about division of property, spousal support, and critical concerns involving the children, with a clear head and a focus on the future.

Rational decision-making is particularly important when disputes exist over child custody, child support and other issues where children are involved.

Making Decisions That Bring Pride, Not Regret

At Johnston, Root & Leibenguth, P.C., we will be at your side throughout the entire process, including future modifications if necessary. We will help facilitate the rational decision-making process that will help you take that next important step in your life.

We can help you understand the do's and don'ts in divorce, the right approach to telling the children, and why the wisdom of settlements before litigation is worth considering.

You want to be proud, not regretful of your decisions. You want to be thankful that you did not wallow in petty arguments that do more harm than good.
