Collaborative Law
The Collaborative Law process can be a very timely and cost effective way in which to make your own decisions with the help of lawyers and other experts in relation to your children, financial and emotional needs.
Key aspects of the Collaborative process include:
- All negotiations take place face to face;
- The parties involved are contractually obligated under the Participation Agreement to negotiate in good faith and to make all necessary information and documents available to one another;
- The Participation Agreement precludes your lawyer from acting for you in Court proceedings if the Collaborative process fails;
- Other professionals such as accountants, financial planners and counsellors who have been trained in the Collaborative process are often called upon to assist in the negotiations.
