My law office has two options for handling matrimonial law issues: adversarial or collaborative. The adversarial or traditional approach involves both spouses having their own lawyers that guide them through the divorce process and litigates issues that cannot be resolved between the attorneys or through mediation. The collaborative approach makes a commitment not to litigate disputes and prefers interest based negotiations to purely positional bargaining.

“The common theme in all of my points is that we were able to create a custom solution for our specific family’s needs. We were partners in creating a solution, not individuals forced to live with a statutory “cookie cutter” plan for divorce where everyone seems to lose.”
