The children, above all else, are the client’s top priority as well as hers. “It is in the children’s best interest to have their parents effectively communicating and co-parenting as well as possible, so everyone can go on to the new chapter in their lives as soon as possible” she said. Ms. Babione is very understanding of her clients and the position they are in. She listens, understands, and then helps guide them through this very difficult time they are going through.. “My clients know I truly care about them and will go the extra mile to help them achieve their goals. Ms. Babione cautions that her kindness should not be mistaken as a weakness. “I will fight when I need to fight, but not for the sake of fighting,” she said. “We need to pick our battles according to our priorities & a cost benefit analysis of each individual’s situation that I walk each client through.” Ms. Babione is a former collegiate softball player and is an avid baseball fan whether professional, youth or any baseball in between. In her spare time you will find her on her running, riding her Peloton bike or at the baseball diamond doing her absolute favorite thing of all time, watching her son play baseball.
