Collaborative law is a new method designed to ease the pain of divorce. It allows you and your spouse to work together to resolve your differences and reach an amicable solution.

Typically, divorces are decided by the court, with each party fighting against the other for a favorable verdict. Animosity often creates long-lasting emotional consequences that can make co-parenting difficult in the future.

For this reason, couples with children may wish to try a collaborative divorce before resorting to litigation. During a collaborative divorce, an attorney skilled in negotiation and diffusing conflict represents each spouse. Together, all parties agree to attempt to work through their differences and reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

Settlement conferences are then conducted in which both spouses and their attorneys meet to work through the details. If no agreement can be reached, the spouses still have the option of pursuing traditional litigation.
