We have all heard of drawn-out, expensive, and sometimes nasty divorces. Collaborative divorce is a different type of divorce that is similar to divorce mediation. While it can still be a difficult process, collaborative divorce (or divorce mediation) is more likely to end in an amicable divorce. In addition to being trained in collaborative law, our family lawyers and partnering professionals are also trained in mediation. All parties involved in the collaborative process agree to work in good faith with one another to reach a mutually acceptable settlement.
In the collaborative divorce process, divorcing parties and their lawyers agree not go to court. We find that this initial agreement reduces some of the emotional and financial strain often present with litigation. A collaborative divorce takes place outside the courtroom - no judges, no hearings, no unexpected filings. The Collaborative Divorce process strives to reduce conflict while preserving the emotional and financial resources of your family.
