Collaborative Divorce - I love this quote by Abraham Lincoln: "Discourage Litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser-in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man...
Comparing Collaborative Divorce and Mediation - Let's face it - divorce is seldom easy. Divorce requires us to make life-altering decisions at a time when we are most emotionally vulnerable. Often, the last thing we need is a "blood and guts" court battle over who gets the silverware. Collaborative law is designed specifically for couples who are looking for a calm, educational and professional alternative to divorce litigation...
Collaborative Practice: A Marriage to the Divorce - There is definitely something very special about accomplishing a divorce through Collaborative Practice. This specialness is present for the attorneys, for the clients, and for the other collaborative professionals involved in the process. The word that immediately comes to mind is "transformative"...
Balancing Advocacy and Neutrality: A Touchstone of Collaborative Practice - My collaborative cases are generally very satisfying. As I experience each collaborative case, I think about the elements that make it so different from a conventional divorce case. There is a sense that the participants (attorneys, clients, process coach, financial neutral) are working together to solve a puzzle in the most creative way possible...
Unilateral Collaborative Law - Most lawyers proudly assert that they are collaborative because they always try to settle their cases. Despite an almost universal wish to resolve conflicts, the intent to settle does not create a collaborative case. In collaborative law, litigation is not the last resort - it's never an option...
Collaborative Law: The Magic of Counterpart Counsel - At some point during a divorce process, everyone meets -- there is a four-way meeting of the divorcing parties and their attorneys. In a litigated case, the first in-person four-way meeting might be at a court hearing on a motion, or at the pre-trial conference with the judge...
Collaborative Law: A Safe Container of Mediation and Advocacy - The first question I am usually asked when I suggest to a client that Collaborative Law ("CL") may be the optimal method to resolve the client's legal problem (usually a divorce) is, "Doesn't that mean I won't be able to get what I deserve?" The first question I used to hear, 3-4 years ago, was "What is collaborative law?"...
"Collaborative Mediation: A Hybrid Solution for Complex and/or Higher Conflict Mediation Cases" - In the ongoing discussion of mediation versus collaborative law, what is becoming more apparent is the need for a hybrid approach for certain of cases that borrows from the best of both processes to meet the needs of complex and/or higher conflict mediation cases...
"Collaborative Divorce - A Healthier Alternative" - Like other alternatives to the traditional litigated divorce, collaborative divorce is a more dignified way of separating that allows the spouses, the children, and even the assets, to emerge healthy...
"Alternative Approach to the Family Feud" - For many people, divorce is just a legal procedure that dissolves a marital relationship. That superficial attitude fails to understand that a divorce has a lasting impact on both parties. If the divorcing couple have children, the impact is frequently transferred to subsequent generations. Numerous studies have shown that a high conflict divorce involving children not only leaves its mark on the children, but also the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc...
"When Should You Choose Collaborative Divorce" - You should see the other article entitled "Divorce Options" by this author for detail, but essentially in Collaborative Divorce clients choose specially trained collaborative divorce lawyers who are committed to a negotiated settlement. Clients agree in advance not to go to court except for obtaining of the divorce judgment, in an uncontested proceedings...
"Divorce Mediation & Collaborative Law: Sibling Rivals, or Just Siblings?" - How the emerging alternative processes of collaborative law and family and divorce mediation are alike (both offering a more humane experience of divorce) and how they differ. Learn about these processes' shared goals, separate limitations and professionals' (divorce attorneys and mediators) competencies...
"Collaborative Law FAQs" - Collaborative Law is the latest trend in divorce. Its a process where both clients and both attorneys meet together in a series of four-way negotiations to achieve resolutions to matters such as finances and custody...
"Collaborative Family Law: Restoring Sanity to the Divorce Process" - Consider the average couple on the verge of divorce. Often only one of the spouses wants to end the marriage; the other may know that there are problems but wants to keep trying. In such marriages, one spouse likely feels betrayed, vulnerable, worthless, angry, and possibly depressed; the other spouse may feel guilty about ending the marriage and yet angry about the relentless blame and clinging behavior of his or her spouse...
"Collaborative Law, Divorce Without War" - Collaborative law is a new way to resolve disputes by removing the disputed matter from the litigious court room setting and treating the process as a way to trouble shoot and problem solve rather than to fight and win...
