Collaborative Family Law at Cohen Highley LLP
Collaborative Family Law
Collaborative Family Law is a voluntary dispute resolution process where each partner, with the help of their Collaboratively trained lawyer, reach a settlement that best meets their goals and priorities. The process begins with both parties signing an agreement committing to this process and agreeing not to proceed to court; the decisions made will be made through a cooperative process, rather than an adversarial process. Collaborative law is typically less expensive than proceeding through the court system and is often much quicker and an amicable process, where everyone works as a team, with financial family professionals to resolve any differences.
