It is a fact of life that many marriages and relationships end.
Unfortunately, statistics show that 50 percent of marriages fail.
Collaborative Practice is a dignified alternative to litigation for families
addressing separation/divorce. Collaborative Practice is a team process
in which couples and their attorneys agree to resolve all issues, using
the help of financial and mental health professionals, and without
involving a court. This helps avoid the financial and emotional expense
of court and its devastating effects on individuals, especially children.
The collaborative process focuses on "what" is right rather than "who" is
right. Using cooperative strategies rather than adversarial techniques
and litigation, this approach allows the parties to remain in control of the
process while playing the key role in creating realistic and successful
outcomes.
You are in charge.
The process is empowering, educational and less stressful.
The future of you and your family is not in the hands of the court.
"In over 1200 cases in which I have participated, I have never seen a
winner. Everyone loses when you go to Court, especially the children."
-- Judge W. Ross Foote, 9th JDC
