The Main Benefits of Collaborative Law:

  • The spouses play a much more active role in deciding their future rather than relying on a judge.
  • The spouses can express or “vent” whatever they need to in order to move the process forward without being told it is “irrelevant.”
  • It is often less expensive in dollars, and involves much less stress and anxiety than litigation.
  • It is faster than prolonged litigation, without multiple hearings, depositions and trial.
  • The spouses have more control over the timing of resolution without having to deal with jammed Court dockets.
  • It is much more private and confidential than the sometimes “dirty laundry airing” which public courtrooms encourage.
  • The process helps the spouses build the trust needed for working together in the future, which is especially important if there are children involved.

Is Collaborative Law Right for me?

  • Do you want to divorce without waging an expensive war with your spouse which you might “lose”?
  • Do you want to divorce amicably with an eye on the future but still protect yourself?
  • Do you want privacy in the process of dissolving your marriage without all the community knowing and having access to your most private, personal information?
  • Are you ready to be part of a team working to make the best of the bad situation which is the end of your marriage?
  • Do you care about maintaining/creating a respectful dialogue and healthy relationship with your spouse and/or the other parent of your child?
  • If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then Collaborative Law might be best suited for you and your partner in resolving your disputes.
