If you are facing a divorce, you have four options.
We are grateful for the opportunity to explain them to you.
Cooperative Divorce Law
Collaborative Divorce Law
Mediation
Litigation (GO TO COURT)
What do divorce insiders do in their own divorces?
It's simple - they make every effort to settle without going to court.
Judges, lawyers, and divorce professionals know what happens when your soon-to-be ex won't agree to an out of court settlement. You fight. You reach agonizing levels of frustration, and you wind up spending more time and money than you ever thought possible.
Going into the court system can turn even the friendliest divorce into a messy, drawn-out ordeal. Your best bet is to reach a compromise settlement before things get out of hand.
This is where cooperative divorce law, mediation, and collaborative law come in. They are our three non-court settlement approaches to divorce. They don't work for everyone; but for most people, they sure beat going to trial.
We invite you to learn more.
