Understanding Collaborative Law

Collaborative law is an effective method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that enables parties to a divorce to come together and work on negotiating agreements regarding the elements of their divorce. Rather than leaving issues such as property division, child custody, and visitation in the hands of strangers, collaborative law divorce enables couples to maintain control of the decisions affecting their future and the future of their children.

No Threat of Divorce Litigation

At the onset of the matter, all parties involved - both partners and their attorneys must agree to keep the matter out of trial. Without the threat of litigation, the parties are capable of having open, respectful discussions about the future. In addition, financial experts, child experts, and other specialists can provide insight into appropriate and creative resolutions.

Not only can collaborative law save on the time, expense, and emotional damage caused by litigation, it also enables parents to continue a respectful relationship - which is necessary when raising children in two different households.
