What is collaborative law?

Collaborative law is a form of alternative dispute resolution that aims to resolve legal issues without going to court. Divorcing couples often choose a collaborative process because they wish to reduce conflict, establish a positive co-parenting relationship, and help the family move forward in a positive way. Taking the collaborative route is voluntary; both spouses must agree to take part.

What is mediation?

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution. In the context of family law, the purpose of mediation is to help couples resolve issues arising from their separation – such as custody, parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support and division of property – and create a separation agreement without the added stress, time and expense of going to court.
