What is collaborative law and how does it work?

Collaborative law is a relatively new procedure used to help parties resolve their family law disputes outside of the courtroom in a more dignified manner. The process requires attorneys trained in collaborative family law, and has the parties work together in an open atmosphere to exchange information, constructively consider alternatives, and ultimately arrive at solutions that meet everyone's goals to the extent possible.
