Collaborative Law – What is It & How Can I Benefit?

by | Jul 24, 2023 | DIVORCE/DISSOLUTION |

WHAT IS COLLABORATIVE LAW AND HOW CAN IT BENEFIT YOU?

Collaborative Law has four focuses:

1. Client Centered

Each spouse’s personal, family, and financial goals and interests are highlighted and carefully considered as the spouses work toward a resolution on all issues.  This process removes the Court as the focal point where the center is “What would the Court do?” and “What is the Court’s timeline?” instead of efficiently moving through the divorce process.

2. Inter-Disciplinary

Often a team approach is utilized to assist the parties in overcoming problems and getting past differences. In addition to collaboratively trained attorneys who provide legal guidance, spouses are also able to turn to family relations specialists and financial neutrals to address the family-related and child concerns as well as financial issues, including education, counseling and budgeting.

3. Transparency

In order to prevent hiding assets and facilitate trust building, there is complete, open and transparent communication between attorneys, other professionals, and the parties. The spouses commit to sharing all relevant information and documentation in an honest, forthright, and timely manner.

4. No Court

Both spouses and their attorneys commit in contract that they will not take the dispute to court. This allows everyone to focus on problem solving and resolution rather than litigation and also allows parties to meet their deadlines which are often much faster (sometimes slower) than the Court may mandate.  Moreover, this process allows to concentrate on the parties goals rather than those imposed by the Courts.
