When they separate or divorce, couples must find a way to resolve their differences on all relevant issues. Collaborative family law practice is designed to minimize conflict while working toward that resolution. Parties to divorce and their attorneys agree to make a good faith attempt to reach a mutually acceptable settlement without going to court. Working together, they strive to dissolve the marriage in a way that addresses everyone’s legal, financial, and emotional needs. The more educated you are about the legal process, the better you can participate in the collaborative process. We offer these resources as a place to begin your education.
