Choosing the way you divorce — Your most important decision
You may not be able to avoid the end of your marriage, but you can avoid the stress and cost of going to Court and the damage to your family. Mediation and collaborative practice can keep you out of court if you are both ready, willing, and able to do so. We can help you work through the process to determine child support, alimony, custody and visitation, business valuations, and property division. You can get through the divorce and get on with your lives. Picking the professionals who help you plan your future is the first and probably the most important decision you will make!
What is Collaborative Divorce?
You will each sign an agreement with your own Collaborative Attorney to settle all issues out of court. The team may include a Financial Expert to help you organize, understand information, and make good decisions. Mental health professionals may work as Coaches to help manage emotional stress and to communicate better. A Child Specialist may help you with a parenting plan for your children. Collaborative Divorce helps you protect your legal rights while finding solutions that benefit you & your children.
