Collaborative Divorce Law Attorney

Rockland County ● Westchester County ● New York

Collaborative divorce is a truly empowering process that allows you to make the decisions regarding your life rather than a judge. Additionally, collaborative law offers a cost-effective and timely resolution to your divorce. As a collaborative divorce lawyer and treasurer of the Rockland Collaborative Law Network, I am a strong supporter of this amicable approach to divorce.

In Collaborative Divorce, You Have Control of Your Life--Not a Judge

Collaborative law offers a no-court alternative to traditional litigated divorce. It can help provide a healthy, hopeful transition through this time of change. Separating and divorcing are never easy, but when couples and their attorneys choose a non-adversarial approach, the entire family can benefit.

The parties and their attorneys sign a participation agreement in which they agree to settle the divorce out of court. Both parties will agree to full and complete disclosure. If you are interested in having control of your life rather than a judge who is not familiar with you or your children, collaborative divorce may be an option for you. I will draft a marital separation agreement. This agreement states the decisions made regarding property division, child custody, child support, and other divorce-related issues. The separation agreement cannot be appealed. Each party contributes to the separation agreement and will not sign and agreement he/she is not comfortable with.

Collaborative Law Benefits Everyone Involved

Collaborative law also benefits your kids. When both spouses are involved in making decisions, it is much more likely they will be amicable towards each other after the divorce decree is issued. Collaborative law allows people to make decisions regarding their future. You will be able to be in the same room as each other at your children's birthday parties, school plays, soccer games, and weddings.

Collaborative divorce does not have a winner and a loser. In collaborative divorce, both parties share these common goals:

• Being heard and understood
• Financial and emotional protection
• Minimizing the impact on the children
• Reduction of stress and expense
