Family Law is especially well suited to benefit from the collaborative process.
No one knows the family and its needs and strengths better than the people involved. The collaborative divorce process encourages the parties to work together to resolve family disputes. The parties are able to fashion solutions that serve the best interests of themselves and, in many cases, the children involved. Often these solutions are more creative and better meet the needs of the parties than anything the Court is able to dictate given the limited time the parties spend before a Judge and the limited resources of the Court. The adversarial process inflames the emotional controversy and distracts the parties from their efforts to continue on with their lives. Our attorneys can help clients negotiate a collaborative divorce, by keeping the parties focused on resolving the issues in the most productive fashion for the family while still having an advocate to help navigate the difficult process of divorce or other family disputes.
