Divorce isn’t a word that generally conjures positive feelings. Yet, in my practice, I’ve witnessed positive outcomes stemming from the divorce process—particularly since I’m now trained and and certified in collaborative law.

When a marriage is broken and the couple truly can’t move forward together, the collaborative law process is an alternative to litigation that allows the parties to focus on values, interests, and priorities they still share. This positive outlook during a time of upheaval is like putting on rose-colored glasses. Each party agrees to work with the collaborative team to keep things constructive and to embrace a future-focused view.
