Description of Practice
Elaine T. Silver, J.D., experienced Collaborative divorce attorney and mediator, helps families heal through the divorce process. She mediates with the perspective of protecting children, preserving assets, and encouraging each spouse to engage their "best self". She encourages divorcing couples to retain control over their lives. In mediation Elaine guides the couple to explore all options and formulate their best solutions. Mediation with Elaine centers on a respectful, caring, private process.
Elaine also works with unmarried couples to dis-engage, with unmarried parents to create Parenting Plans in the best interest of their children, and with couples about to be married to create pre-marital agreements to define their future financial relationship.
