What is collaborative law and is it right for me?
In family law matters, the term “Collaborative law” is used to describe a process where the parties sit down with their lawyers and resolve their disputes without the need to attend a court room. This is a form of dispute resolution whereby the parties may avoid the litigation process if they are capable of cooperating and agreeing on matters such as financial and parenting issues and matters involving their children (schooling, pick up and drop off days, holidays etc).
However, collaborative law is not always appropriate and where parties are no longer capable of open communication, where their has been a power imbalance or domestic violence or their has been a failure to provide full disclosure for the purpose of resolving disputes, this process will unlikely succeed.
It is a discussion between you and your lawyer to determine if this process is right for you.
