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.
