DIVORCE SERVICES

Collaborative practice is an open and respectful way for divorcing couples to resolve financial, legal and custody matters. Each party works with an attorney, mental health professional and sometimes a financial expert to cooperatively collect and share the information necessary to reach an agreement. Collaborative professionals help maintain an atmosphere of trust and civility that protects each individual’s interests and leads to a fair resolution.
