M. Sue Talia is a certified family law specialist and private judge in Danville, California with nearly forty years of experience in complex family law litigation. Since 1997, she has limited her practice to private judging in family law matters. Through her many years of divorce experience, she has seen what works, what helps couples settle their disagreements, and what tactics inevitably lead to scorched earth, scarring both the litigants and their children, sometimes for life. She is convinced that litigation is a last resort, never the first choice, and that given proper guidance, two reasonable people can and should be able resolve their differences out of court without compromising their dignity or their estates. Her premise is that a negotiated resolution which everyone can live with, even if they didn't get everything they would have liked, is always better than a solution imposed by a stranger in a black robe, however knowledgeable, well intentioned and intelligent that stranger may be. She also recognizes that some cases need to be tried (usually because one side is being unreasonable) and shares with readers her vast experience of how to make the most of courts and the legal resources available to them.
