When a relationship breaks down, you may want to retain control over important decisions regarding your finances and arrangements for your children, rather than having those decisions imposed by a court. In these circumstances, the collaborative law process may be an effective solution.
Collaborative law is a constructive, non-court-based approach to resolving family disputes. Supported by specially trained collaborative solicitors, both parties work together through a series of meetings to reach mutually acceptable agreements in a respectful and cooperative environment.
