Amicable solution for divorce and separation

Separation and Divorce = heartache ? it does not have to be that way!

If you want to settle your family law matter with less financial and emotional costs and you want to continue to have an amicable relationship with your ex-partner, we can help you to sort out your legal issues collaboratively, so that you can move on and enjoy your life again. An alternative to going to court is collaborative practice. Collaboratively trained practitioners provide participants with legal, financial, and emotional support, enabling them to find appropriate solutions while preserving their crucial relationships.
What is collaborative practice?By using collaborative practice, disputes can be resolved without going to court. It uses a team of professionals (which may include lawyers, financial advisors, child consultants, and psychologists) to determine the best course of action for all parties concerned and to come to the best solution for all parties involved. Collaborative practice helps you and your ex-partner to resolve issues in a non-adversarial setting, rather than treating separation as a conflict. How does it work? Both sides must agree to stay out of court in order for the collaborative process to work. Issues are resolved via open and respectful discussions, with the assistance of each party's lawyer. This atmosphere of openness encourages effective communication and is conducive to amicable conflict resolution. By doing this, the likelihood of misunderstandings or mistrust between the parties is reduced. Furthermore, compared to conventional litigation, the process is typically quicker and less expensive.
How can you benefit from collaborative practice? How can it benefit the children?All parties' needs are respected in collaborative practice. Your opinions and views will be taken into account holistically by engaging with a number of experts, including coaches, psychologists, and child consultants. By moving the processes out of the courts, you may encourage open dialogue and reduce confrontation, which lessens the stress of an already difficult time. Parties can keep a better relationship with each other due to collaborative practice's non-adversarial nature. This makes it simpler to work with each other when you make arrangements for the children. It will lessen the stress that comes with separation for the children.
How can you be certain that the matter won't simply end up in court?When you and your ex decide to resolve conflicts through collaborative practice, you both sign a contract stating that you won't take the matter to court. As a result, neither party can threaten the other with legal action. And the best thing is: the fees for our collaborative practice are very affordable. If you want to find out more how to work out your settlement amicably and collaboratively, don't wait.
