When couples reach a crisis point in their marriage and consider separating, they often may make hasty, impulsive decisions amidst a lot of highly charged emotions that can include shock, feelings of hurt, anger, sadness and anxiety. This can at times lead to very costly mistakes both emotionally and financially, and in some situations can even become quite destructive to the entire family. Marital crisis consultation enables the couple to slow down and work through their decision more cautiously with a neutral marriage and divorce professional to help guide them. He helps them to strive to “walk, not run” in making this most important decision in their lives, emphasizing the importance of timing in making major changes in a family structure. This is a brief consultation usually consisting of 1-3 sessions.
