Case Work
The cases
attorneys bring to Traci.
High-Conflict Custody
Custody disputes that have stalled in litigation
When custody battles have burned through months of litigation with no resolution, attorneys bring them to Traci. She uses her direct, empathy-first approach to move parties off entrenched positions and toward arrangements that actually work for the children.
Why it works
Traci has lived single motherhood for 15 years. When she speaks to a parent about what a possession schedule actually feels like, they hear her differently than they hear anyone else in the room.
Divorce & Property Division
Complex marital estate disputes
Property division, business interests, retirement accounts, and real estate — Traci crafts financial agreements built around what the family actually needs post-divorce, not what the standard template produces.
Why it works
Having navigated two divorces herself, Traci understands the long-term financial reality these agreements create. She pushes parties toward solutions that hold up years later.
Possession Schedules
Non-standard schedules for non-standard families
Traci is known for building possession schedules that look nothing like the standard 1st/3rd/5th weekend template — because most families don’t live standard lives. She maps the actual logistics and finds solutions the parties can genuinely live with.
Why it works
Attorneys report that clients return to modify standard schedules within 2 years. Traci’s customized schedules hold because they were built around the family’s actual reality from day one.
Child Support Modification
Modification disputes between former spouses
Post-divorce modifications are among the most emotionally charged disputes in family law. Traci’s experience on both sides of a divorce table lets her navigate the emotional undercurrent while keeping the legal conversation productive.
Why it works
Traci doesn’t pretend the emotional history doesn’t exist — she acknowledges it directly and then uses it to move parties toward resolution instead of letting it block the process.
Multi-Party Family Disputes
Cases involving extended family and blended households
Grandparent rights, step-parent adoption disputes, and blended-family custody arrangements require a mediator who can hold more than two perspectives at once. Traci’s capacity for radical empathy makes her effective in complex, multi-party scenarios.
Why it works
Her direct communication style and self-deprecating humor diffuse tension in rooms where multiple parties are competing for the same emotional real estate.
