Compassionate Legal Support

​

Without the courtroom

At Via Nova Collaborative Family Law, I focus on helping families move through separation and divorce with dignity, respect, and a commitment to preserving relationships. As both a military spouse and the child of divorced parents, I understand how deeply family transitions can affect not just spouses, but children as well.

​

Having litigated hundreds of contested divorces, I have seen firsthand the damage court battles can cause—the trust they erode, and the emotional toll they leave behind. My own parents chose a different path, keeping me out of the middle and never taking their case to court, and I am profoundly grateful for the stability that gave me. That experience is what fuels my passion for collaborative family law today.

​

I am especially attuned to the unique challenges faced by military families—frequent relocations, deployments, and the stresses that come with service life. But whether you are a military family or civilian, my goal is the same: to guide you toward practical, respectful solutions outside the courtroom. I bring compassion, clarity, and strong advocacy to every case, helping you protect what matters most while building a healthier future.

I am deeply grateful for the compassionate help of Mariah L. Nelson, Esq., during one of the most challenging times in my life. Her professionalism, understanding, and dedication not only guided us through the legal process but also helped my wife and me find a path back to each other. Thanks to her patience, empathy, and skill, we were able to reconcile and are still together today. Mariah’s commitment went beyond legal representation—she genuinely cared about our family’s well-being.
I’m beyond grateful for the care and guidance I received from Mariah Nelson. Mariah was professional, compassionate, and always took the time to make sure I understood every step. I truly felt cared for and in good hands—highly recommend!
I used Mariah Nelson for my divorce attorney. She was very informative and patient with the whole situation. Her response time was very quick and always available by email if needed. If there were questions she would answer and if she didn’t have the answer she would dig to find out. Very helpful in helping me sort out things in a very difficult time and sensitive to matters that where going on but always professional.
