IS COLLABORATIVE LAW RIGHT FOR YOU?
"It is not what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason,
and justice tell me I ought to do." Edmund Burke
• Are you more interested in moving on with your life than in perpetuating a marital battle in court?
• Do you want
to be in control of your destiny, including custody and financial support issues, rather than relying on a court's decision?
• Do you want to be treated with respect and dignity during your divorce
process?
• Do you want to ensure that the members
of your family each have what they need to move forward with their lives feeling intact and secure?
• Do you want your divorce to be private rather than public?
• Do you want to have a financial settlement that is respectful to both parties according to their needs both
now and in the future?
• Do you believe that both
you and your partner need to make your children your primary responsibility when making financial plans?
• Do you want to lessen the stress and arguments, when making decisions
with your partner regarding your children?
• Do
you want to have a good relationship with your children during and after the divorce?
• Do you want to end the emotional battle-the anger, upset and fighting?
• Do you want to preserve your children's emotional health during and after the divorce?
• Do you want your children to be able to invite both their parents
and extended families to all the special events in their life?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, then collaborative divorce is not only the right way but the only
way for you.
