Are you overwhelmed because...

You are going to be a parent with someone who might not be right for you long term?

You know nothing about child custody law, child support payments, or even where to begin learning?

You can't sleep at night pondering all the "what if" questions and mounting legal bills?

You want a healthy co-parenting situation for your child but the relationship is quickly deteriorating?

Jim&Jess About us.jpg

About us

About ten years ago, we each had children with people we did not end up marrying.  We remember all the sleepless nights and how hard it was to find straight answers. 

Lawyers talked in circles and charged a fortune.  Divorced friends never understood the unique challenges that we faced.

After several court battles and making many rookie mistakes, we finally found our way to healthy relationships with our kids and co-parents. 

Then, we found each other, got married, and had a child together.  Now, we want to help you avoid the mistakes we made and find a better way through this difficult time.   

-Jessica & Jim Braz

What they say about us and our book

Francesca Santacroce, LMFT - Copy.jpg

I often see the emotional toll that custody battles can have on unmarried parents and their children in my behavioral health practice.

 

The material in Baby Out of Wedlock can make a difference in both the parents' and their children's long-term mental health.

My documentaries focus on what can happen in a worse case situation.

 

Unmarried parents who read Baby Out Of Wedlock are taking a first step in the right direction.

Pregnancy out of wedlock can be an incredibly scary time. This book is a great guide to help the reader know they are not alone; and with a great emphasis on the importance of mental health.

“Baby Out Of Wedlock provides answers to all the basic questions that will inevitably challenge a co-parenting relationship.  

 

If both parents read this book, you can work together to plan for your child with less stress and anxiety and limit the cost of lawyers.”

When the client is knowledgeable about the basics of family law, it makes my job easier, and everyone benefits.  Baby Out Of Wedlock is a great primer for anyone navigating the pregnancy-to-custody continuum.
