You may be keenly interested in developing your own settlement terms and want to leave the court out of it. Collaborative law allows just that. The new process isn't for everyone. Who's going to keep the house? Do retirement plans get divided in divorce? Does the cottage have to be sold? Particularly if you own a business, it's important to make wise decisions about property since the impact will last well into the future.
Mediation or collaborative law not for you? You might be able to work with your partner to develop a settlement. If you aren't sure how, a mediator can assist you to understand the issues and develop a solid agreement. We have helped hundreds of parents navigate the adoption process. Whether you are placing or adopting a baby, adopting a child for whom you've been guardian, or are a stepparent who is parenting, we love helping you become family!
