Collaborative Divorce offers a new approach to resolving your issues, allowing you to divorce with dignity and respect.

A new alternative to dispute resolution, Collaborative Divorce allows you to divorce with dignity, respect, and cooperation. Each spouse retains an attorney to act as an advisor, and they conduct settlement negotiations with their lawyers by their sides so that client ownership of the process is combined with legal protection. The process may also include other professionals, such as therapists, financial planners, etc. Both parties and their professionals agree to be cooperative, forthcoming, and willing to work together to achieve a resolution.

If you can't reach agreement, both lawyers (and their law firms) must withdraw. The fact that there's no room for litigation during the process ensures that the participants are truly committed to reaching a reasonable settlement.
