Collaborative Family Law

Our collaborative family lawyers are committed to resolving family law matters respectfully and without litigation. Collaborative family law offers separating couples a private, structured process to reach mutually acceptable solutions without going to court. By prioritizing open communication and cooperation, this approach helps preserve relationships and reduce the emotional and financial toll often associated with divorce and separation.

We work alongside clients, their former partners, and other collaboratively trained professionals—including financial advisors and family professionals—to guide families through the resolution of issues such as divorce, parenting arrangements, child and spousal support payments, and property division. Everyone involved signs a participation agreement committing to transparency, good faith negotiations, and a shared goal of reaching a lasting, dignified agreement.

This process empowers families to maintain control over their outcomes, avoid court-imposed solutions, and create child-focused, sustainable arrangements tailored to their unique needs. If you are looking for a respectful, solution-oriented alternative to litigation, our collaborative family law team is here to help.
