Collaborative Divorce Law

It is a revolutionary new way of dealing with legal disputes. It is not limited to any area of practice but it is clearly rooted in family law.

Collaborative law is focused entirely upon settlement which is its only priority and goal. As a matter of fact, collaborative law prohibits the spouses and their attorneys from using the court system (except for routine processing of agreed papers). What is Collaborative Law?

Divorce Mediation

Mediation is where you and your spouse conduct your own settlement talks but you do so in the presence of someone who is trained to help you to avoid derailment.

The mediator doesn't try to sell anybody on anything but does make certain time-tested procedural suggestions to help you and spouse decide on how you might want to proceed. Read More About Divorce Mediation...

Cooperative Divorce Law

Cooperative Divorce Law is where the parties use the friendly approach without the benefit of the peacekeeping structure that mediation and collaborative law provide. They do it all on their own but run the risk of creating unwanted hostility by saying or doing something that sets their spouse off and harms their settlement chances.

This page shows you what to say and do (and to not say and do) if you hope to persuade your soon-to-be ex to give you the settlement you deserve, without your having to go to court to fight for it.

Antenuptual/Prenuptual Agreements

Premarital Agreements are also known as pre-nuptial and antenuptial agreements and all three names mean the same thing. They are agreements that are made by prospective spouses before their marriage to determine who gets what (alimony and/or property) if the marriage ends in divorce or separation. They are also extremely effective in protecting the inheritance rights of children. They must now be in writing and are effective only if and when the marriage actually takes place.
