What is collaborative family law?

Collaborative family law is when the couple believes that it is in their best interests to voluntarily commit themselves to avoiding adversarial proceedings.  They attempt to work together in order to avoid the uncertain outcome of the court.

The conflict resolution process does not rely on a court-imposed resolution.  It relies on an atmosphere of honesty, cooperation, integrity and professionalism, and is geared toward the well- being of each family member.  It helps the couple communicate better and eliminates all negative energy.  The couple agrees to look for a better way to resolve their family issues and strive for an agreement that benefits all.

If your marriage is ending and you feel overwhelmed by all the family matters that need to be resolved, you might want to look into Collaborative Divorce.  It gives you the opportunity to focus on what is important to you and your family for now and the future.   Contact an Orange County Divorce attorney who has experience in collaborative family law.
