		<description><![CDATA[With each passing day, mortgage lending requirements become more demanding for my mediation and collaborative divorce clients. Divorcing couples instinctively know that it’s more expensive to live under two roofs than one but may assume that there will be enough community property to enable both parties to own separate homes. The other common assumption is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When married couples in the Seattle-Bellevue area contact me to inquire about what early stage divorce mediation looks like, they are usually motivated by (1) saving money, (2) fear of lawyers/legal fees, and (3) the desire to maintain a good relationship with their spouse.
