Collaborative Law is a cooperative process for resolving disputes associated with divorce, separate maintenance, child custody, asset division, child and spousal support in a non-confrontational manner without court intervention. The process was developed to reduce conflict and promote creative problem solving in family law matters.
 It involves a series of meetings in which the parties work through the issues of their separation by exploring options that will benefit both parties and their children. These meetings seek to promote communication between the parties and assist them in resolving their issues without accusation
or acrimony.
If the parties are unable to resolve the issues within the collaborative law framework, the lawyers are required to withdraw from representation and cannot assist the parties in litigation. By binding themselves to this principle, collaborative lawyers and their clients seek to achieve a “win-win” result. |
