the collaborative law movement

The collaborative law movement is a legal approach that encourages people, typically in family law cases like divorce, to resolve their disputes outside of court. In this process, each party hires their own attorney, and all involved agree to work together respectfully towards a mutual solution. The goal is to focus on cooperation and communication, minimizing conflict and emotional strain. This method often leads to more personalized and satisfactory outcomes for everyone involved, as parties can negotiate terms that best suit their needs, rather than having a judge impose a decision.
