The Alternative Remedies Guide

It’s a strange situation I’ve found myself in, but I’m certainly old enough to help. You see, I’m a Seattle divorce lawyer and my parents have decided to get a divorce. Now, some people would consider this a conflict of interest. Of course, I’m not actually working for one of them against the other. I’m merely giving them advice as I have 15 years of experience under my belt. They trust my judgment and I’m not one to turn my back on them. I love them both very much, so I’m going to try not to take a side.

Many people have asked me how I can offer advice without getting emotionally involved, especially in this circumstance. But over the years, I’ve learned to detach my personal feelings from my professional life. It would affect my job if I was to feel involved emotionally with each of my clients. They all have sad stories to tell and it’s never a good thing when a marriage dissolves (well, usually never). In the case of my parents, it was a simple fact that they didn’t love each other in the same way any more as they did when they first got married. I knew it all along because I could tell that they weren’t as close in their old age. They have both met other people, however no infidelity was committed. I know that they will remain friends and keep in touch. They started as friends and I believe they will stay that way for years to come. Of course it upsets me to know that my parents who raised me won’t be together any more, but as long as I can smooth out the process for them, I’m happy to go along with it.
