General Overview (Specifics May Vary Depending On Jurisdiction Indiana/Ohio):
Ending relationships is a challenging feat for couples and it is especially trying when children are involved. The Collaborative Law approach provides a dignified, respectful and constructive Interdisciplinary Team framework in which parties, their respective counsel and other specially trained experts work through and create a settlement agreement that satisfies the immediate and future needs of not only the couple but also those of their children.
The non-adversarial Collaborative Divorce Process is an alternative dispute resolution forum geared to assisting couples with ending their existing relationship and with forging a new plan for their and their families’ respective lives. It focuses on all aspects of the teardown and restructuring of a relationship: legal, financial, parenting, and emotional.
The Collaborative choice offers you the opportunity to focus on what is important to you, your family and your future rather the traditional recourse of arguing in court and having a disinterested stranger determine the terms and conditions of your relationship’s termination and the fate of your children.
Couples who elect to use the Collaborative Law Alternative Dispute Resolution methodology negotiate in good faith, and achieve a mutually-agreed upon settlement outside of court. The cooperative nature of Collaborative Practice can greatly ease the emotional strain caused by the breakup of a relationship, and protect the well-being of children.
