Minnesota Collaborative Law Service
Collaborative law is a type of divorce resolution that is gaining popularity throughout the U.S. Through the collaborative law process, both parties to the divorce retain separate, specifically trained lawyers whose only job is to help them settle the case. All participants agree to work together respectfully, honestly, and in good faith to try and find solutions that benefit the legitimate needs of both parties. This can be very valuable to couples that wish to make the divorce process as painless as possible for each other and their children and want to avoid court litigation.

Though our firm attempts to resolve your divorce or other family law case through means of alternative dispute resolution, we are not afraid to take a case to trial if we determine that this would be in your best interests and the best interests of the case.

Collaborative law is a modern concept of dissolving your marriage without going to war with your spouse. Collaborative law is different from litigation because you control the process, not a judge. You and your spouse will collaborate to resolve your case, agree to stay out of court, and each of your attorneys will work together to fully exchange financial information without spending money on discovery.

If you and your spouse decide to get divorced using the collaborative approach, then, each spouse selects an attorney in South Florida who is trained and experienced in practicing Collaborative Law. Each party and their respective attorney will sign an agreement to not go to court.  The spouses and their lawyers meet together for discussions, negotiations, and resolutions of their family law case without ever seeing the inside of a courtroom.
