The Collaborative Law Approach Can Help Couples In Divorce
You and your spouse worked together during your marriage. Now that the two of you have separated, it is just as crucial for you to work together during the divorce. This concept is at the root of collaborative law.
In a collaborative divorce, both parties are willing to talk things through to find solutions in what can be described as a blend between mediation and litigation. It is more formal than mediation. And even though each of you has a lawyer present, there is no courtroom negotiation. McNelis Law, P.A., in Bartow, Florida, has guided many clients in collaborative divorce, and the team is prepared to help.
