FAQs

How does Collaborative Law differ from mediation?

In mediation, two parties hire one mediator and possibly two lawyers to facilitate discussion aimed at settlement. In Collaborative Law, both parties hire their own lawyers to work together openly and honestly to resolve the parties' dispute. In contrast to mediation, collaborative lawyers do give their clients legal advice that will support them in crafting solutions. The two lawyers work as a team together with their clients to problem solve. The Collaborative Law process includes meetings between parties and their lawyers, as well as joint sessions, during which everyone comes together to discuss solutions. Collaborative lawyers are not objective as a mediator, but rather involved and invested in finding a solution with integrity.

How is Collaborative Law different from conventional courtroom litigation?

Typically, conventional family law litigation can take anywhere from 12 to 24 months to reach a resolution, costs on average $20,000 per person, and fails to resolve all of the issues to the mutual satisfaction of both parties (there is a high likelihood of post-agreement litigation of subsequent issues.)

What do Collaborative Law clients say about the collaborative process?

Collaborative Law clients often report that the process was one of cooperation and healing. Usually, the parties in a Collaborative Law process are very grateful to have avoided the destructive nature of conventional litigation.

What if my spouse/ex-spouse does not agree to proceed in the Collaborative Law process?

Both parties must agree to full participation in the Collaborative Law process. If one or both parties do not agree, then you will have to proceed via either the conventional approach to dispute resolution, or attempt an uncontested, amicable divorce, without the facilitated structure of Collaborative Law.
