Benefits of Collaborative Family Law

There are numerous benefits to using collaborative family law to resolve disputes. These benefits include:

• Avoiding court: Collaborative family law allows families to resolve disputes without going to court, saving time, money, and emotional stress.
• Focus on interests: Collaborative family law focuses on the interests of all parties, rather than their positions. This approach helps parties find creative solutions that meet their needs and priorities.
• Open communication: Collaborative family law promotes open communication and information sharing between parties, leading to better understanding and cooperation.
• Customized solutions: Collaborative family law allows parties to create customized solutions that address their unique needs and circumstances.
• Preserving relationships: Collaborative family law helps preserve relationships between parties, which is especially important when children are involved.

How It Works

Collaborative family law is a voluntary process in which both parties and their lawyers commit to negotiating a mutually acceptable settlement without going to court. The process begins when both parties retain a collaborative family lawyer from our team. Once retained, a meeting is scheduled to begin work together as a team to resolve the issues of the separation such as property division, custody access, and support. The process is very different from the traditional adversarial legal approach, where the parties battle it out through their lawyers. Collaborative family law is a cooperative process where the emphasis is on reaching solutions that address the goals of both parties, and meet the needs of the children.

The collaborative family law process involves several stages, including:

• Identifying the parties' interests and priorities
• Generating options for resolution
• Evaluating the options
• Negotiating a mutually acceptable settlement
• Implementing the agreement

The collaborative family law process is voluntary, confidential, and interest-based. It is designed to help parties reach a mutually acceptable settlement while preserving relationships, reducing conflict, and promoting positive communication.
