Collaborative Law
Collaborative Law helps families settle divorce cases without going to court. The Collaborative Law approach offers couples facing divorce the following advantages:
-
Helps families divide their assets and businesses without destroying them.
-
Improves opportunities to restructure a family after a divorce without devastation.
-
Allows for creative solutions that may expand the “pie” that is being divided rather than diminishing it or using it up on divorce costs.
-
Provides divorcing couples with a more family- and business-friendly way to restructure their relationships.
-
Provides privacy and flexibility to clients.
In short, the Collaborative Law approach is a settlement process that focuses on helping families find their way to respectful resolution. The Collaborative process focuses on creating a safe environment for the parties to express, negotiate and resolve conflict without going to court.
While a marriage may be ending, the Collaborative Law process recognizes that relationships and obligations often continue – especially when children are involved. It allows spouses to formulate agreements that focus on their most important individual and mutual goals. This process helps all family members move forward in a positive way – focused on the future, rather than dwelling on arguments and disputes of the past.
