What is Collaborative Law?

Collaborative law is a unique method of alternative dispute resolution. In a traditional divorce, both parties hire a lawyer and prepare for litigation. The parties are usually at odds, and they go to court to resolve their differences. A judge makes the final decision, and both parties must abide by the ruling.

Collaborative law is a different approach that allows the parties to work together to resolve their differences. The process is designed to reduce the likelihood of litigation and to help the parties move forward amicably.

The collaborative law process typically involves the following:

• Both parties retain separate attorneys who have been trained in the collaborative law process.
• The parties and their attorneys meet to discuss the issues in the case and what they hope to accomplish.
• Both parties and their attorneys sign a collaborative law agreement that states they will work together to resolve the case and avoid going to court.
• Both parties and their attorneys meet to discuss the case and try to come to an agreement. The parties can work with other professionals, such as financial advisors and child custody specialists, to help them reach an agreement.
• If the parties are unable to agree, they will need to hire new attorneys and go to court.

What Are the Benefits of Collaborative Law?

Collaborative law is a unique process that can offer several benefits to the parties involved. It is important to note that the collaborative law process is not right for everyone. If you and your spouse are unable to work together, you may need to go to court to resolve your differences.

Some of the benefits of the collaborative law process include:

• Less stressful: Collaborative law is designed to reduce the stress associated with the divorce process. The parties are encouraged to work together to resolve their differences, which can help reduce stress.
• More control: In a traditional divorce, a judge makes the final decision. In a collaborative divorce, the parties have more control over the outcome.
• More privacy: Divorces can be highly contentious, and the proceedings are a matter of public record. Collaborative divorce allows the parties to keep their dispute private.
• More efficient: Going to court can be time-consuming and expensive. The collaborative law process is generally more efficient and less expensive.

What Issues Can Be Resolved Through Collaborative Law?

Collaborative law is a unique process that can be used to resolve a wide range of family law issues. It is not limited to divorce and can be used to resolve a wide range of issues, including child custody, child support, and property division.
