THE DIVORCE SETTILEMENT

Collaborative law is a new, innovative way to settle family law issues without enduring the expenses and stress associated with litigation and court-ordered mediation... The collaborative law process promotes the role of lawyers as problem solvers and counselors. A lawyer will promote negotiation that focuses on underlying concerns. In this process, there is no goal of winning an adversarial battle... Mediation involves a neutral third party, the mediator, who assists in a negotiation between the parties to help settle a case. The mediator cannot give legal advice and cannot advocate for one party's interests.
