Collaborative Law & Divorce
With Collaborative Law, the ultimate goal is to reach a settlement over the following issues, but not limited to, support, alimony, custody, property and debts, in your divorce matter without going to Court. Each spouse is represented by his or her own Collaborative Attorney. The attorneys and spouses agree, in a written contract, to share all financial and other pertinent information relevant to the divorce without claiming confidentiality. This vital element of the process is what makes the collaborative divorce settlement process so unique. Since each spouse is willing to cooperate and share this information the time in which the attorneys must do extensive research and actually investigate the financial situation of the marital estate is drastically diminished, which decreases the legal costs and the actual time line of the divorce procedure.
