Dispute Resolution & Conflict Prevention

Are you struggling with family conflicts over jointly owned or family-managed real estate or in disagreement with siblings about the best care for an elderly parent?

These situations are more common than you might think—and we can help.

Family Relationships Are Complex

The word family evokes different emotions based on our experiences. Some enjoy close bonds, while others struggle with tension or distance. Regardless of the dynamic, life inevitably brings moments where families must come together to face common challenges.

These challenges may stem from issues such as divorce, inheritance or lingering disputes often rooted in events from decades past. When emotions run high unresolved conflicts can quickly resurface.

With strong communication skills, formal training in alternative dispute resolution and decades of experience, we are uniquely equipped to help families navigate conflict, find resolution, and prevent future disputes before they arise.

Guidance in Challenging Family Situations

Many times, families reach out to us when they need to access financial resources through the sale of real estate. Other times, we’re called in to provide an independent, third-party perspective in emotionally charged situations, offering both candid and diplomatic guidance to all involved.

Our approach is built on meeting each person where they are, listening with respect, asking honest questions, without an agenda, and remaining completely neutral. This has allowed us to successfully navigate even the most difficult instances of family dynamics.

We are able to naturally step into the roles of sounding board, mediator, challenger, and advocate, ensuring that all voices are heard while keeping the focus on solutions.

For over 30 years, helping families find agreement, rebuild relationships, and achieve peace has been much more than a profession. It is a vocation that is deeply rewarding and gives great meaning to what we do.

Flexible Service Options to Meet Your Needs

Our services are available on a flat fee basis, or as part of our role in managing a property sale, depending on your situation.

If you're facing a difficult family matter, we encourage you to reach out. Call or text Kevin at 616-318-1322, or email kmoore@expectmoore.com to discuss how we can help.

Your first consultation is free—so there’s nothing to lose.
