Experienced at Creating Practical Legal Solutions Kansas and Missouri Collaborative Family Law FirmCollaborative law is a cooperative approach to finding real solutions to legal disputes such as divorce, child custody, support, and property division matters. Collaborative law can help you minimize the stress and negative impact of a divorce or other family law issue. The primary objective of the collaborative law process is to reach a negotiated settlement in an amicable setting. The parties meet in joint sessions with their lawyers, who are there to facilitate the goal of reaching a comprehensive agreement, which will resolve all issues involved in a family law dispute. What is a collaborative divorce? A collaborative divorce is one in which both parties and their attorneys commit to be fair and to resolve disputes without the intervention of the courts. This can be the most effective way of avoiding costly and time-consuming litigation as well as minimizing the amount of stress you or your children will experience. The collaborative process emphasizes honest and full disclosure in an atmosphere of cooperation and creative problem solving. Why should I use collaborative law techniques to settle my divorce? There are many advantages to seeking a collaborative divorce, including: - More control over timing and outcome of the process
- Decreased stress by reducing the adversarial nature of divorce
- Neither party takes advantage of the mistakes or unintentional miscalculations of the other
- Individualized plans allow the parties to find solutions that better fit their particular family and situation
- Significantly lower financial costs are involved in most collaborative divorce than in more traditional litigation
