Collaborative Law
Collaborative law and divorce mediation are less costly, more amicable alternatives
to traditional divorce litigation.
Collaborative Law
Can you and your spouse commit to be honest with one another and to treat each other
respectfully throughout your divorce? Is each of you willing to negotiate solutions
to resolve conflict in a way that reasonably satisfies the both of you?
If so, then collaborative law dissolution may be the method for you.
Divorce with Respect
In collaborative law, the parties and their attorneys agree not to go to court. The
collaborative law process maximizes settlement options for both spouses and children,
and reduces the negative effects of adversarial litigation.
Decide For Yourselves but Not By Yourselves
In a collaborative divorce, spouses and their respective attorneys hold a series of
four-way meetings to settle all issues created by the divorce. Collaborative practice
attorneys explore and address relevant legal issues and consequences while helping
spouses to arrive at a fully informed agreement.
Collaborative law also can be used in domestic partnership divorces involving same-sex
couples or non-married couples.
Few family law attorneys are trained in collaborative law or possess the skills required
to manage such cases effectively. At Childs Law Group, our collaborative law attorneys
were trained by some of the most experienced family law litigators and collaborative
law attorneys in the area, and by the founder of collaborative practice. As our client,
you and your spouse will work out your differences respectfully with the protection of
an experienced attorney.
In addition, Fresno collaborative divorce lawyer Erin Rhames-Childs is certified by the
International Association for Collaborative Law Professionals.
