Why the Collaborative Process May Be Right for You
The basic principal of collaborative law is to minimize conflict between the parties while they work together to resolve their issue. The couples and their attorneys all agree to not litigate their divorce or legal separation, which then encourages all parties involved to negotiate and reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
If you are looking for a new beginning in life and want to start out on the right foot, then the collaborative approach to divorce or legal separation may be the best option for you. This process will allow you and your partner to maintain respect and dignity and will allow you to focus on what is best for everyone involved, including children.
Throughout the process, you will maintain control of the direction of the discussion while also protecting your pocketbook and your time. In the end, you will come out of the collaborative law process having worked in a cooperative environment that will lay the groundwork for any future discussions.
If you feel, however, that you and your partner do not require separate representation by an attorney, but instead would like help negotiating an agreement, you may consider pursuing the option of mediation.
Issues You Can Settle in the Collaborative Process
The collaborative process allows you to resolve any issue tied to your divorce or legal separation, including:
- Child custody and parenting plans
- Child support
- Spousal support/alimony
- Property division
In the end, it is up to you how you want to shape the course of your divorce or separation. Over the past 30 years, we have learned that no one situation fits every couple. We will use our knowledge and experience to help guide you in the right direction.
