Some of the questions we asked Colleen:

• I have a girlfriend who has been divorced for years, the kids live 90% of the time with mom, not only does her X still take the tax deduction for the kids but he also takes it for the home that he no longer even owns! My girlfriend has no idea what to do and this has been going on for like 10 years!
  

   

• My husband and I are constantly arguing about money.  He’s a frivolous spender and I just want to make sure everything’s paid on time.  I still love him, but I’m fed up and ready to leave.  Is it possible to mediate my way into staying married?  How do I get him to see where I’m coming from?

   

• I’m currently going through a divorce and the lawyers are costing a fortune and creating problems where there are none.  Will you work with my soon to be ex-wife’s lawyer if I were to hire you?  How does that work?

   

• How long would a mediation take compared to if I hired a lawyer?  I would like it to be over quickly and with as little hassle as possible.

   

• My husband makes a lot of money and now that we’re separated, he’s spoiling our kids and we haven’t even started divorce proceedings.  I think he’s overcompensating, but it’s really going to cause problems.  What can I do?

   

• How do I talk to my kids about someone that I’m dating?  When is it appropriate to do so and is it a discussion that should include my ex?  We’ve stayed pretty friendly.

   

• I have a very expensive divorce agreement and just lost my job.  What happens now?  Does it get suspended or re-assessed?

   

• My ex-wife and I have 2 young children together and she holds them hostage and won’t let me see them per our agreement, when we argue.  I don’t want to go back to court.  What should I do?

• My ex and I have a parenting agreement, but we didn’t go through the courts. Now we’re starting to fight about the terms.  Is it time to go legal with the plan?
