I help divorced parents leave a legacy instead of a mess.
Protect your kids. Protect your assets. Protect your peace with The Maverick Mom™ Method. It's time to go Rogue and take Control.

If you're divorced with minor children, and dealing with a high conflict or untrustworthy ex, this is not a hypothetical question. Without a solid estate plan, the law may give your ex control over money meant for your minor children—regardless of your wishes.
Most parents don’t realize this risk until it’s too late.
Get your FREE Estate Planning Checklist made just for single parents who want to protect their children’s inheritance—and keep control out of the wrong hands.
“Working with Suzanne was the first time I felt calm about my future. I finally know my kids are protected, no matter what my ex tries to do.”

Your situation is different—and you need a plan that recognizes your unique co-parenting and post-divorce dynamics. I create customized wills and trusts designed specifically for divorced parents, so your assets go where you intend. No confusion. No gaps. No loopholes.
When kids are involved, planning requires foresight. I help you put the right legal structures in place so your children’s inheritance is secure, and your intentions are clear—giving you confidence and peace of mind.
No legal jargon. No scare tactics. I explain every decision in plain English so you feel informed, empowered, and confident. Estate planning should give you relief—not more stress.
I'm Suzanne, a divorced mom and attorney. I believe estate planning isn’t just about documents—it’s about protecting your kids and keeping your hard-earned assets out of the hands of an ex. My work is focused on anticipating problems before they happen and closing doors you didn’t even know were open.
I’m an estate planning attorney with 14 years of legal experience, including time as a criminal prosecutor. I’m also a single mom who’s navigated a challenging co-parenting dynamic myself. I understand both the legal risks and the emotional weight behind these decisions—and I take protecting your children personally.

Work directly with me to create an estate plan designed specifically for divorced and single moms—because your co-parenting and post-divorce dynamics require a different approach. Your assets go where you intend—to your children—and nothing is left to chance. We’ll design a strategy that protects your children’s inheritance, eliminates loopholes for an ex to get control, and ensures your wishes are honored. You’ll walk away feeling calm, organized, and confident about the future.
If you’re looking for a faster, more accessible starting point, my DIY templates cover essential guardianship and power-of-attorney documents. They’re clear, legally sound, and designed specifically for single parents who want protection without overwhelm.
