Home What is Collaborative Family Law? Frequently Asked Questions Is Collaborative Law the Right Choice? Finding a Collaborative Family Law Professional What Will Your Collaborative Lawyer Do? How to Get Started
When a marriage relationship ends, most people fear the legal process will take a long time, cost a lot of money, and foster even more bitterness. They also fear how this process will add to the pain and harm the divorce impact will have on their children.

The traditional divorce system treats the end of a marriage as a contest, where the wife’s lawyer and the husband’s lawyer fight tooth-and-nail to get the biggest piece of the pie for the client. This process all too often ignores the financial, emotional and relationship costs of winning.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY…
IT IS CALLED COLLABORATIVE LAW

Welcome. Collaborative Law offers a no-court alternative.

Separating or divorcing is never easy. But when couples and their advocates take a less adversarial approach, the entire family benefits.

Collaborative law helps families resolve divorce issues with dignity and respect. In the collaborative law process, the husband, wife and their attorneys and any other collaborative professionals working with the family, agree to resolve all issues of their case without contentious court proceedings. Together the team formulates an agreement that will work for “this” family.

Please take a few minutes to discover how Collaborative Law’s non-adversarial approach can help you and your family begin to move forward with your new lives.
