Collaborative Family Law

Working Together

More couples are pursuing resolutions through collaborative law when it comes to settling disputes within families. Most often, collaborative law is used as an amicable means to arrive at a divorce settlement. However, this cooperative process also may be of benefit for questions of child custody, spousal support, parenting time and numerous other family law issues.

Collaborative law takes family law out of the courtroom and puts the power of decision making into the hands of the participants. Rather than awaiting the decision of a judge, the couple chooses what works best for their unique situation. After all, no one understands the family’s unique dynamic quite like its members do. This means that the participants can arrive at a customized solution that’s far more creative and realistic than what a judge may have decreed.

The Benefits

The collaborative process takes a great deal of the stress out of divorce and other questions of family law. In general, it is a more private process, and it is less expensive too. Collaborative law recognizes that although a marriage may be dissolved, the relationships involved are not necessarily concluding. This may provide a healthier way to proceed.

When families work together to solve their differences, it is possible to move forward with hope and compassion. In practice, collaborative law is quite flexible, and it may be tailored to suit the needs and preferences of any family. It may involve each of the parties working with their own attorney in a cooperative process

Professional Involvement

Other professionals also may be involved. For instance, an impartial mediator may help to resolve some or all of the issues in question. The parties to the mediation each may be represented by their own legal counsel or they may engage in negotiations without an attorney. Some collaborative law processes may involve a financial expert to help resolve conflicts involving money or a mental health counselor to help ensure the well-being of all participants.

A Healthy Alternative

Essentially, a collaborative law proceeding is designed to be healthy, supportive and as constructive as possible. It promotes an atmosphere that is not acrimonious or vengeful. Moreover, it is mindful of the fact that the relationships involved will continue.

This means that it is essential for each of the parties to have knowledgeable legal counsel at their disposal.
