Divorce does not have to be devastating. There are productive and dignified ways of managing conflict through professional divorce mediation or a collaborative law process.
Divorce Mediation

The process is voluntary, you stay in control. The mediator will guide you to explore options and plan your future.

During your final session, your mediator will prepare you for going to court.
We help you every step of the way.
Collaborative Law
Collaborative law is a voluntary process that parties use to reach agreement without litigating.
Both parties are individually represented by a lawyer. The parties agree that the attorneys will not represent either party in any litigated court proceeding.
The parties act in good faith to make agreements and the lawyers aid in the negotiations to help the parties reach and acceptable settlement.
The parties provide full disclosure of all relevant information needed to reach agreement on all matters.
The parties hire a coach and a financial expert, both professionals, who help support the parties as needed in the process.
When the parties reach agreement, the lawyers draft the agreement. The parties then go to court for approval by the judge.
