The essence of "Collaborative Law" is the shared belief of the participants that it is in the best interests of parties and their families in typical Family Law matters to commit themselves to resolving their differences with minimal conflict and no litigation. We seek to adopt a conflict resolution process that does not rely on a Court imposed resolution. The process does rely, however, on an atmosphere of honesty, cooperation, integrity and professionalism geared toward the future well being of the parties and their children. 1.02.
