Lea's Perspective
-
I am married to my husband, and we have a blended family (his, mine,
ours). Our children range from 24 to 7 years of age.
-
I have parental experience of going through the Mankato area court system trying for custody of my stepson multiple times and working with GAL.
-
I have also gone through a divorce and know the stresses and concerns that come
along with it, especially when there are children involved.
-
With my experience throughout my journey in life, I want always to make it a priority
to make families less stressed through this process and know that situations can
have a positive result in an unfortunate situation.
