Collaborative Law
Collaborative Law is a structured process that provides an alternative to court. It is navigated by two separate attorneys, one for you and one for your spouse, each certified in collaborative law. These lawyers serve as advisors and advocates, committed to you, and each other, towards reaching resolution with integrity, fairness, and the best long-term interests of all involved. Together, through an open, cooperative environment, the single focus is working towards a settlement that benefits everyone.
By engaging in Collaborative Law you can focus more on what is important to you, your family and everyone's future.
Collaborative Law can be used to resolve disputes in most family law matters:
-
Divorce or Legal Separation
-
Property Division
-
Custody/Parenting Plans
-
Child Support
-
Maintenance/Alimony
-
Paternity
-
Pre- and post-marital agreements
-
Relationship Agreements for unmarried couples
In the unfortunate circumstances that the involved parties are unable to reach a settlement, through a Participation Agreement signed by all parties at the beginning of your engagement, your lawyers will withdraw from the case and assist you in transitioning to appropriate trial attorneys.
There is a better way—it's Collaborative Law.
