Collaborative Law
Also called Collaborative Divorce, Collaboration, or Collaborative Practice, Collaborative Law is an alternative dispute resolution process that takes your family’s conflicts out of the court and into a reasoned, confidential, and interest-based problem solving environment. Collaborative Law is not limited to divorce, but is frequently used in that arena and is often referred to as “Divorce With Dignity”. The process can be used to discuss parenting plans, custody, out-of-state moves, property division and other common family law issues.
In Collaborative Law, parties agree not to “roll the dice” by taking their disputes to court and then having to live with whatever the judge rules. Instead, both parties take control of the decisions in their dispute and commit to reaching agreed solutions. Unlike traditional marital conflicts, the win-win approach behind Collaborative Law allows parties to proceed reasonably, work jointly with financial experts to assure the best possible financial outcome for both partners or spouse, and consult with parenting and child development specialists to help children healthily adjust to changes in their lives. Susan Carroll leads the Collaborative Law practice at Carroll Law Group, PLLC.
