Collaborative Law

Collaborative law is an alternative, less adversarial method to resolve disputed family law matters. In Collaborative Law cases, there is an expectation that the parties to the dispute will cooperate with each other to reach a negotiated settlement of a dispute, rather than engage in contentious litigation against each other. The collaborative process can minimize conflict and reduce costs because the parties frequently share the expenses for experts like accountants, financial planners, appraisers, and counselors.

The Collaborative Law process usually results in a more dignified and amicable resolution to your family law matter. It can provide a more positive basis for future dealings between the parties, which is especially important when both parties will be involved in raising children.

If you have a family law matter, but you believe you and the other party may be able to work in good faith to resolve the issue without the necessity of litigation, then Collaborative Law may be right for you.
