changing the way family law is practiced, one couple at a time
WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT OF THE SOLACE JOURNEY
You will traverse from marriage to co-parents in a mindful manner that helps you to create the type of co-parenting relationship, and co-parenting upbringing you want for your children!
You will learn all relevant provisions of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act and be guided and supported in creating the agreements that are in the best interests of your children and the marital property division that is fair and equitable to your unique marriage!
You will be given two client handbooks. One focused on the emotional process of divorce and providing you with helpful resources, and the other focused on the legal process of divorce and providing you with completely managed expectations regarding the governing law and the conversations we will be having in the mediation room.
You will receive a full-service, supported and loving divorce experience starting with the Solace Beginnings mediation session and ending with the one and only prove-up court hearing date to legally dissolve the bonds of matrimony and transform all agreements made during the mediation process into court orders.

3. Increase your self-confidence as you restructure your life and family.
4. Help you move past and recover from the pain of divorce.
Children are the heart of the Solace process. It is a choice made by each parent individually and together to allow divorce to negatively affect your children.
By utilizing the Solace process you and your spouse can fully embrace your power as the absolute BEST authorities to determine what is in the best interest of your children. You two have known them since you first learned you were pregnant and they were the size of a pencil tip. You know your children better than anyone else!
Embrace your power! You do NOT need to relinquish this power and allow a random stranger, seated and elevated in the front of the courtroom, wearing a robe, and answering to the name of “Judge” make decisions regarding your children for you.
Solace mediators help you successfully transition from a broken “marriage” relationship to a forever “co-parenting” relationship by creating a solid foundation of communication, trust, and
respect.
We focus on the children
Putting Children first!
You are always a family… just a different family than you were before.
Embrace your power and take control of your divorce journey. You can do this!
-JS
I'm so grateful for Jen and her warm and loving presence during the entire divorce process. She guided my ex and I through the overwhelm and I was able to shift my perspective from one of fear and confusion, to one of hope and gratitude. I was able to see my ending marriage in a new light, revealing how much I grew as a person from this experience. A very different approach than most divorce horror stories.
Thank you so much Jen!

Jen brings her unique and palpable positive energy, love and spirit to mediation along with her

costly, win-win-win scenario for her clients and their families.
