Collaborative Law
|
Collaborative Law Defined The conventional process of divorce or other family law matters can drive parties -already separated from each other - even farther apart. It takes a toll on individual dignity, and often children suffer the most. Collaborative Law presents a more humane, respectful choice. It is a process in which the parties and their counsel agree in writing to make a good faith attempt to reach a mutually-agreeable settlement without court intervention. Working together, they craft a way to keep their marriage together, dissolve their marriage, or resolve any family law matter in a way that considers everyone's needs and minimizes conflict. Collaborative law allows couples to resolve family law issues themselves without entering a courtroom where a judge or jury determines how an issue will be settled. As such, collaborative law places couples in charge of their own fate, providing them with a forum to discuss and negotiate terms mutually agreeable to all involved.
