Collaborative Family Law
Question:
What should I consider before choosing a Collaborative Law Agreement?
Answer:
A Collaborative Law Agreement is not for everyone, but many couples are able to find common ground with common goals, and trust in their mutual desire to achieve a settlement based on the best interests of their families.
Qualities that are commonly found in good candidates for a Collaborative Law Agreement include:
- Co-parents who continue to maintain a healthy environment, dedicated to protecting their children from the hurtful affects of a contested divorce.
- Both parties are capable of respectful negotiation and able to accept responsibility for their agreements throughout the process.
- Both parties value relationships with extended family members and friends.
- Both parties agree that a collaborative process can achieve a fair settlement at a reduced cost with greater flexibility of terms.
