Is This the Right Fit for You?

If you're here, you're likely trying to figure out your next step and how to shield your children from the impact of divorce.

Most parents don't realize how quickly court involvement can affect their children. By the time decisions are being made in court, the process is already reactive, stressful, and harder to control.

As a former litigator and Guardian ad Litem, Erin knows that system well.

Parents come to us before court to avoid it.

We know how to move families through divorce without court and how to get better results, whether clients work together in mediation or move forward individually through legal guidance.

Five Important Questions

  1. Are you seeking a divorce, separation, or co-parenting services? That is the focus of this work.
  2. Do you have children, shared liabilities, assets, and financial support to resolve? These are the core issues addressed in this process.
  3. Do you want the process to be shorter, more affordable, and less acrimonious? This process is designed to reduce conflict and improve efficiency.
  4. Is your separating partner or co-parent open to working toward a positive outcome? That is what allows resolution to happen outside of court.
  5. Do you want an experienced family lawyer to ensure all details are addressed? That experience supports a more complete and prepared outcome.

If you answered yes to these questions, this is the right process for you.

Financial Fit

Every case is different, and there is no set income or asset minimum to work with our firm.

What matters most is that you have the financial stability to move through the process without added strain and that the financial, property, or support issues involved justify the investment in these services.

Protecting Your Children’s Future Starts Here

With 20+ years of courtroom and Guardian ad Litem experience, I understand how court decisions are made, what judges consider, and where the process often breaks down for families. My work focuses on helping parents avoid unnecessary court conflict whenever possible to minimize harm to children.

View Pricing & Options


We work with parents in two ways:

Individually, when one parent is seeking answers and legal guidance.
Together, when both parents are ready to resolve matters through mediation.

Both options are structured so you’re not waiting on the court system for next steps.

Are we the right fit for you?

Birt Family Law is committed to keeping the separating family out of court and working together towards a positive resolution.
