Family Collaborative Law Association (FCLA)

The Family Collaborative Law Association (FCLA) is a professional organization that promotes a respectful, cooperative approach to resolving family disputes, particularly divorce and child-related issues. Its members—family law attorneys, mental health and financial professionals—work collaboratively with clients to reach mutually agreeable solutions without going to court. This process emphasizes open communication, preservation of relationships, and reducing conflict, making it a more constructive alternative to litigation. The FCLA provides standards, training, and resources to ensure practitioners deliver effective, ethical, and client-centered collaborative law services.
