Separation, divorce, or custody conflict can be one of the most stressful and difficult experiences that an adult, or a child, can experience. However, there is good news for estranged couples living in Towson and the broader Baltimore area. These couples are no longer compelled to participate in destructive and expensive divorce litigation.
The process typically followed by separating and divorcing families in the past has been shown time and time again to be detrimental to all persons involved by draining financial resources, creating irreparable emotional harm, and destroying family relationships. Rather than choosing divorce litigation, separating and divorcing couples are now choosing to take charge of the process through alternative conflict resolution.

Collaborative Law Advantages
Report
Collaborative divorce is focused on the parties maintaining control over the process and the outcome, which includes controlling the time needed to complete the process, the issues that are important, the priorities for the family, and the ultimate settlement terms, rather than handing over your family's future to the court which will dictate your financial future as well as your relationship with your own children.
