Why Collaborative Family Law?
The personal and financial costs of litigation can be staggering. The costs, especially when measured in lost relationships and the impact on children, often outweigh the gains.
Collaborative Law is an alternative to going to Court. You and your spouse will each work with an attorney trained in the collaborative process. Through a series of meetings attended by you, your spouse and both of your attorneys, you and your spouse work together to resolve the issues in your divorce or other family matter instead of allowing a judge to make those decisions for you.
The collaborative process is for you and your spouse if you want problem solving rather than fighting; and if you want a result that is fair to both of you.
