Collaborative practice provides parties a process focused on resolving disputes respectfully, in private and out of Court, with the guidance of trained lawyers and other professionals. Negotiations, compromise and creative problem solving are the critical elements of Collaborative divorce. Lawyers retained for a Collaborative divorce are specifically trained and skilled in the law, guiding negotiations, and managing conflict.
In a Collaborative divorce, neutral professionals are brought into the process to meet the individual needs of the divorcing spouses and their children. Use of these neutral professionals allows for the Collaborative attorneys to focus on identifying goals and exploring settlement options, rather than duplicative role of information gathering and managing emotions.
All attorneys at ARWJ are seasoned in Collaborative practice and believe in the transformative value the Collaborative divorce has to offer families.
