Advantages of Collaborative Law
When you are facing the reality of ending a marriage or you have child support or child custody issues, you have several options for ending things amicably.
Collaborative Law Can Be Cleaner and Less Expensive
With arbitration or mediation, either party can still take the case to court. This can be messy and expensive. If your case goes to court, then your private matters are made public, you will have less say in the final outcome, and there are no guarantees that there will not be future court battles. The benefits of the Collaborative Law process to you are many.

Many couples wish for the separation, divorce, and child custody issues to remain as private as possible. With Collaborative Law, there are no public court records. Everything remains private.
Collaborative Law is Beneficial for All Parties
Another Collaborative Law benefit is that your attorney is there to address your concerns and wishes. By agreeing to the Collaborative Law process, both parties agree not to file a lawsuit. If one party mentions taking the issue to court, then the process ends and both attorneys walk away from the case. The law forbids them from representing you in court on this issue. Therefore, your attorney will be there solely to ensure that both parties come to an agreement.
The Collaborative Law process is less emotionally taxing. The Collaborative Law process saves the parties money legal fees and there are no court costs to be paid. Because there is less stress, the parties are better able to come to a quicker resolution and agree to a more creative, comprehensive agreement.
