How will you separate or divorce?

Collaborative Practice is about cooperation, not confrontation. It is problem solving with collaborative lawyers, financial and family professionals who help you and your spouse achieve mutually satisfactory agreements finalizing your separation or divorce.

Why Collaborative Practice?

What is unique is that you, your spouse and both collaborative lawyers sign a contract agreeing not to go to court. Other professionals are brought in as need be, also bound by an agreement not to go to court. Settlement is the goal. Not an escalation of conflict.
