Family Law
http://collaborativefamilylawfl.com This is the website of the
Collaborative Family Lawyers of South Florida**,
Inc. Collaborative Law is a process that enables divorcing parties and parties involved in other family law disputes, each represented by counsel, to resolve the parties' differences in a
nonadversarial setting.
The process operates in an environment grounded in good faith, cooperation, integrity, honesty and professional ethics to facilitate the resolution of the parties'
differences without litigation. The parties and their lawyers enter into a Participation Agreement wherein they agree to work together to achieve a satisfactory settlement in a cooperative
manner. The participants agree to voluntarily disclose all relevant information and to cooperatively resolve all issues outside of litigation. Settlement is accomplished through informal
discussions, settlement conferences, mediations and other amicable alternatives. The use of experts may be necessary and should be encouraged where their involvement can assist in the collaborative
process. Collaborative Family Lawyers work toward settling a case rather than preparing for and conducting a trial, resulting in savings, both financial and emotional, to the divorcing family.
