Collaborative Law Is

• An unique method of amicably resolving family law disputes by working together collaboratively through a series of meetings rather than resorting to the court

• A private process whereby you resolve your dispute with dignity, with the help of a trained team including your lawyers, a neutral mental health professional to facilitate communication and a neutral financial professional to provide assistance with the financial aspects of your case

• A safe environment that provides an opportunity to minimize the negative economic, social, and emotional costs of going to court

• An interest-based negotiation that often results in creative solutions that better meet the needs of your family

Collaborative Law is not:

• Litigation, which leaves the ultimate decisions regarding your family up to a judge and gives you little or no control over the final outcome

• Adversarial proceedings, which often leave your family relationships even more strained than before
