contested divorce - Collaboration
Considering Collaboration for Your Divorce?
Collaboration is a private and cooperative way to resolve family issues without going to court. Our lawyers will guide you through the process, protect your interests, and help you reach a legally binding settlement. We are available 24/7 and your initial consultation is free.
Why Collaboration?
Family Law mediation is a non-adversarial process whereby you and your spouse seek to resolve your legal issues without going to court. It is conducted by a neutral, third party known as a ‘Mediator’.
Under the auspices of the mediator, you and your spouse will enter into discussions, with or without your lawyers' presence, until you reach a mutually acceptable settlement that can be set out in a written agreement.
The mediator is not allowed to provide legal advice or impose a settlement, and any settlement reached must be reviewed and approved by each party’s lawyer to make the agreement legally binding.
Mediation is a discreet, private, non-courtroom process that may involve non-legal professionals such as accountants, financial planners, and child advocates if children are involved.

“I thought collaboration was hopeless. A waste of time. I really did. I thought we were way way to far apart. But you told me it wasn't in our case, and then you showed me and helped me. Man, it turned out good!”

When is Collaboration Worthwhile?
Collaboration works best when you and your spouse are keen to settle your legal issues without going to court. You and your spouse and your respective lawyers will meet regularly in a series of sessions which are always held in private, away from a courtroom setting. Sessions can held be in person or virtually or in some combination thereof. These sessions begin a cooperative process that may serve as the foundation of a speedy resolution of all outstanding legal issues.

When Collaboration is Not Worthwhile
Collaboration may be doomed to failure if your spouse is just playing games and/or is just going through the motions with no real intent to reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion of your marriage. Embarking on collaboration with a spouse who has history of abuse, or being uncooperative or unreasonable may be waste of time and emotional energy. In addition, involvement in the collaborative process with someone who has a history of counterproductive behavior is risky because they can pull out of the process at any time they choose.
