Collaborative Law

What We Address
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if collaborative law fails?
Both attorneys must withdraw and cannot represent you in court. This creates strong incentive for everyone to reach agreement.
Why would I want my spouse to have an attorney?
When both parties have counsel, agreements are more likely to be fair and durable. Courts are also more likely to approve agreements where both parties had representation.
How is this different from mediation?
In mediation, there's one neutral mediator. In collaborative law, each party has their own attorney advocate, plus access to shared neutral experts.
