A Better Way to Resolve Family Conflict
Experienced practitioners who know the collaborative process
and apply it with care and intention.
What Is Collaborative Practice?
Collaborative Practice is a voluntary, out-of-court process that allows you and your spouse or partner to resolve family law matters respectfully while working with trained professionals who support all areas of your life. The heart of the process is problem-solving, transparency, and protecting the long-term well-being of the entire family.
Step 1: Commitment to Avoid Court
Each party and their collaborative attorney signs a participation agreement committing to resolve disputes without litigation. This keeps everyone focused on reaching resolution rather than preparing for court.
Step 2: Building a Collaborative Team
In addition to collaborative attorneys, neutral professionals such as financial specialists, divorce coaches, and child specialists may be involved. Everyone works together on one team to support informed decision-making.
Step 3: Open Communication & Negotiation
Collaborative Practice uses non-adversarial, interest-based negotiation. The parties, not the attorneys or a judge, remain responsible for the outcome, supported by experienced professionals focused on the families best mutual interests.
Step 4: Planning for the Future
Through a series of structured meetings, families develop future-focused solutions that address parenting, finances, and long-term stability, while avoiding the emotional toll of courtroom litigation.
