Separation and divorce are hard. You can do hard things. I can help. How do you want your separation story to sound? Let me help you. I’m Lana Wickstrom. And again.
I know that this feels foreign, scary and disorienting. No one commits to a relationship with an exit strategy or a marriage with a divorce plan mapped out. I know that there is so much coming at you from your ex, your kids, your friends, your family, books, government resources and the internet that it is impossible to know how to filter all the information on your own. It’s hard to prioritize an
d focus on what you need to know and do when everything seems so overwhelming and consuming. I am a lawyer, social worker, mediator, coach, mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend. I help people just like you get through the tremendously deep and personal life transition of separation and divorce with dignity. After more than ten years of being a courtroom lawyer, I decided to create a better way to service family law clients in a way that aligns with who I am, what I believe and what I value. I believe in my new model of helping clients so much that I retired from practicing law in order to pursuit it fully. I know that it is extraordinarily challenging during separation or divorce to know what to do, let alone to take the high road while doing it. The frustrations are so high and the lows are so low at times that it feels easier to just throw in the towel, give up on trying to “play nice” and go to war. People who make that choice often go to court because they are just “done” and they want it to be “over.” Those same people often continue to make decisions throughout their separation or divorce from a place of fear and resignation that unnecessarily compounds the drama, pain and struggle in their separation story. But the reality is, “done” and “over” aren't achievable goals in terms of separation and divorce - especially when children are involved. Your relationship with your ex will always be there. It will necessarily change in type, nature and quality after separation or divorce, but it will always be there. Your ex will always be the person you once shared memories and “I love yous” with, will always be your children’s parent, and will always be a person who knows you differently than anyone else...
And even if you do choose to go to Court to have someone else decide your family's fate other than you, another reality is that people and families change: children grow older, circumstances evolve and life happens…. Without some form of functional relationship or ability to communicate, you won’t be able to navigate these inevitable life changes and you will most likely end up back in that courtroom again. To avoid this, you need personalized support to help you process and progress through your separation. We all know how consuming and taxing it is to keep up to day to day choices and decisions even when things are running smoothly - but now, the mounting pressure of separation and divorce makes it even more daunting at a time when the stakes are even higher. You need professional, credible and insightful information as a foundation for wise choices; many of which will have a lifelong effect. You should not be doing this alone. You should not be making monumental, life changing decisions inside of a vacuum. You should not be handing over the most personal decisions of your life to a stranger in a courtroom wearing a black robe. You should not be investing your scarce financial resources in more conflict. You are not alone. I am here to help. You have choices. You have services. You have support. Inspiring, educating and supporting people to separate or divorce with dignity,
