How We Can Help
LITIGATION
Litigation is the traditional divorce process where both parties hire divorce attorneys who provide legal advice and represent their client in negotiations and court hearings. Each divorce attorney advocates positions based on the personal wants, needs and viewpoints of their client. The process will involve the use of formal legal procedures, known as “discovery,” to obtain financial and other relevant information.
MEDIATION AND
COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE
The goal of Collaborative Divorce Practice is to come to a mutually acceptable, negotiated settlement between two parties without the threat of going to court. In this practice, each of the parties retains their own collaborative divorce attorney who will gather information, provide education on rights, responsibilities and options, and negotiate on their behalf.
