Family Relationships Are Uniquely Challenging

Depending upon our individual experiences growing up, the term “Family” can give rise to a number of different emotions. No matter whether we enjoy close relationships with our parents or siblings, or we can barely tolerate each other, the constant march of life dictates that there will be times when it is necessary to come together and face a common challenge.

Challenges can arise from a myriad of different sources, from fallout from a divorce, the settlement of a loved ones estate, or even disagreements and hard feelings that can resurface from some perceived slight that may have happened decades ago.

Through the use of solid communication skills, decades of experience in dialogue, inquiry and meaningful conversation, along with formal education in alternative dispute resolution, we are uniquely equipped to help parties in conflict to arrive at a resolution, or to help prevent ones that may be on the horizon.

Most often, the circumstances that prompt a family representative to contact us involves the need to access financial resources through the sale of a piece of real property.

Other times, we are referred due to our ability to bring an independent, 3rd party perspective to a potentially volatile situation, by being willing to challenge all of the parties at the table with the same candor and diplomacy.

Meeting each person where they are, respecting what they have to say, making honest inquiry without an agenda, and having no emotional stake in the outcome has allowed us to successfully navigate most every difficult situation we’ve encountered over the decades of doing this work.

Stepping into the role of sounding board, questioner, challenger and advocate is a natural fit and we are confident that we can help you meet your goals as well.

For more than three decades, this work has been a vocation. Helping people come to agreement, rebuild broken relationships and find peace is deeply gratifying and gives purpose and value to our lives.

Depending upon your needs and circumstances, our services are offered on a fee basis, or included as part of our larger role in handling the sale of a property. If you are currently involved in a difficult situation with those you love, we encourage you to contact Kevin via phone or text to 616-318-1322, or with an email to kmoore@expectmoore.com. Let’s discuss how we can help. Our first hour of consultation is free, so there is nothing to lose.
