<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nWe’re looking forward to hearing from the organizers of this event about when it will be coming back to Chicago.\u00a0 We’ll let you know as soon as we do !<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Well, let’s start off simply.\u00a0 I’m been asked to be there to do a presentation on “Collaborative Divorce”, so I’d love to see you and your friends there learning about this constructive approach to dissolving a marriage.\u00a0 You may not be heading toward divorce, but you may well know others who are.\u00a0 If they are not ready or able to attend, you can do them a great service by doing so and sharing what you learn.\u00a0 Or maybe you’ll just come with them for support.<\/p>\n But I won’t be the only person there and Collaborative Practice won’t be the only thing to learn about.\u00a0 The Expo is described as being “…designed to give you opportunities to learn, share and discover how to take control of your divorce or separation. We want every one of our attendees to feel more confident about their future at the end of our time together<\/em>.”<\/p>\n If you’re familiar with Collaborative Practice, you know that’s nearly a perfect description of our focus as professionals.\u00a0 So the decision for me to accept the invitation was a very easy one.<\/p>\n The speakers will be addressing topics from single parenthood and co-parenting to financial planning and household organizing and transitioning to singlehood in a positive manner.<\/p>\n From the organizers:<\/p>\n The Divorce Expo\u2122(TDE) will take place August 18th at the Hotel Arista, at CityGate Centre in Naperville.<\/p>\n Private consultations, panel discussions and a variety of contests will be available to the attendees. Prize giveaways will also be awarded throughout the day.
