Collaborative law in Florida is a legal process designed to help parties resolve disputes outside of court, primarily in family law cases like divorce, child custody, and support. It involves both parties and their attorneys working together in a series of meetings to negotiate a settlement.
Key features include:
Team Approach: Parties can involve other professionals, such as financial advisors or mental health specialists, to assist in the resolution process.
Commitment to Settlement: All parties commit to resolving their issues collaboratively and agree not to go to court. If the process fails, the attorneys must withdraw from the case, which encourages a cooperative approach.
Confidentiality: Discussions and negotiations in the collaborative process are typically confidential, promoting open communication.
Focus on Interests: The process emphasizes understanding each party’s underlying interests and needs, rather than just their positions.
Collaborative law aims to reduce conflict, preserve relationships, and create mutually satisfactory outcomes. If you want to maintain a cordial relationship with your spouse or co-parent after your separation then collaborative law may be a good fit for you.
