At Garwood Reeves, we feel a successful divorce is when you can walk away after it is over retaining your self-respect, creating a workable relationship with your ex, while at the same time providing a foundation for your future and those who depend upon you.
Supporting You to Be an Emotional Winner
According to Ms Garwood, a successful divorce is when you can walk away after it’s all over, and still meet that person on the street and greet them. “I’m not saying you will be best friends with your former spouse. I am just pointing out that, emotionally, you have moved on in a good, non-self-destructive way.”
Having been a Settlement Judge in San Diego County Family Law Courts, Attorney Garwood prefers to see her cases settle amicably. Her flexibility, integrity, reputation, and years of experience combine to give you the strong and confident counselor you desire if the need arises to go to trial. Most importantly the entire firm collaborates on each case, bringing together all of their knowledge, strengths and family law expertise.
