Divorce is one of the most difficult issues you will face in your life. Not only does it bring about a major life change, but the divorce itself can also be a long and frustrating process. When navigating this challenging situation, you need a divorce attorney who can guide you through various options, such as mediation or collaborative law, rather than merely representing you in court. Additionally, exploring arbitration may also provide alternative solutions to ease the process.
Put simply, collaborative law is an approach to legal disputes, including those handled by a divorce attorney, that emphasizes the two parties working together to reach a mutually agreeable solution. This method contrasts with the adversarial nature of our legal system and provides an alternative to arbitration and mediation.
Meditation is an increasingly common method for resolving divorce disputes and other issues in family law. In some cases, courts may even require parties to seek mediation, particularly in child custody disputes or when working through collaborative law processes. Additionally, alternatives like arbitration can also be considered, but often a divorce attorney will recommend mediation as a first step.
I have been a divorce attorney for more than 20 years and have extensive experience arguing on my clients' behalf in court and at the negotiating table. However, I have also found that many clients can reach the best results through mediation and other techniques of collaborative law. If it's appropriate to your situation, a collaborative approach can help you resolve difficult disputes over property and parenting without adding to your emotional distress or fostering lingering anger. For that reason, mediation and collaborative law, as well as arbitration, are particularly good choices for cases where young children are involved.
