Divorce Mediator Lori A. Grover named Chairperson of the RI chapter of the National Parents Organization

Child and Marital Support

The issues of child & marital support can be contentious to discuss and can sometimes spark fear or
resentment for both spouses which can be a barrier to communication, and in turn, a successful
out of court settlement. With the right tools and information, however, couples can navigate
these issues and reach realistic agreements they can both live with.

  • "Lori and Kevin were so easy to work with and extremely professional. They never took sides but rather guided my partner and I through the emotional process of splitting our lives, children, possessions, and all the things we hadn't even thought of. When we needed space and time, they always gave it to us and Lori even suggested we take a time out to think through some things that would help us be better co-parents. Her true agenda seemed to be to make sure we were both on the same page AND to make sure that we made choices for our children that not only we could live with but that were in the children and our best interest. - Read complete testimonial

  • "To Whom It May Concern:The demise of a marriage is an extremely difficult reality to face. Divorce is an intricate time for all involved, especially considering our children. We were ready to divorce even though we still cared for each other. As we entered into the divorce process, our upmost concern was to protect our positive relationship and be able to co-parent our three wonderful children. It was crucial that we work together to handle the difficulties associated with a divorce, considering all involved. What we expected to be a very challenging drawn out process was relatively simplistic with Lori...."   - Read complete testimonial

  • "Why do weddings begin in the church, holy site or cherished spot only to succumb to an ending in the courtroom? After many court visits with little or no progress, meeting Lori was truly a blessing. For me to say that Lori Grover is anything other than an angel in disguise or a saint or someone of similar status, would be a lie. The heartwarming welcome into her office sets a peaceful feeling into your soul and gives you the sense of progress underway. - Read complete testimonial
