What is Collaborative Law?

The primary purpose of Collaborative Practice or Collaborative Divorce is to offer you and your former spouse or partner a respectful divorce or separation -  A Divorce with Dignity. If you have children, a respectful divorce is more likely to result in you having a better ongoing parenting relationship.

You receive support, guidance, advice and protection from your own independent lawyers. 
A fundamental requirement of Collaborative Law is that if you cannot reach an out of court settlement, the lawyers who have acted in the Collaborative process cannot go to court with you.

As a result, lawyers engaged in Collaborative Divorce are motivated solely towards helping you achieve a fair, out of court settlement that is right for you and your family.
