Our legal system is designed to be adversarial. There’s almost always a plaintiff and defendant. While this works for many types of disputes, it is often not an appropriate model for divorce, and especially not for child custody.

To that end, we offer a number of options that fall under the category of alternative dispute resolution. These include collaborative divorce, mediation and negotiated agreements. They typically allow the two parties to reach agreements faster with less stress and lower costs. They also give each party more control over the final outcome.

Of course, disputes sometimes need to be resolved in court. For this reason, we also offer representation in litigation, when appropriate.

All of our attorneys strive to assist our clients in making sure they select the process that is best for them and their families. No two families are exactly alike, and we work with our clients to help them achieve the results that work for their family, not what is necessarily the “standard.” Our goal is to help each client to dissolve their marriage without destroying their family.
