I cannot stop recommending this firm and Elana in particular. For over 4y i struggled to deal amicably with my ex-partner and dealing on matters... read more related to shared parenting. He caused so much pain and abuse and difficulties and i could not detach emotionally and bite the bullet and take him to court. Once I came across Family Law Decisions and their staff, they listened to my story and put in in the right perspective for me to realise all the abuse I was subjected to.
