A less expensive option

The key features that make Collaborative Law as less expensive option is that the most knowledgable, least expensive specialist is used when appropriate.

You know your lawyers fee structure upfront and work with your lawyer to put together a team of specialists that can provide the advice and support you need as you go through the collaborative process.

Less emotionally damaging

Collaborative Law is a non-adversarial process.  The process is focused on securing an agreement that everyone can live with.  Being in dispute is tough, especially if the dispute is related to Family Law matters such as child custody and division of assets of a separating couple.  Emotions are high and can prevent strategic decisions being reached.  The Collaborative process ensures that you are supported emotionally.  As well as working through the legal issues with your lawyer you may work with a qualified Collaborative Coach who will help you to deal with the emotional issues and put together a parenting plan.
