In a traditional divorce,

the court process often causes hostility and conflict within a family and places the responsibility for the decisions involved in restructuring the family in the hands of third parties. So in 2002 a group of local attorneys, led by Carol Lindsay, Esq., sought an alternative for separating or divorcing couples and divorced or unmarried parents who were experiencing continuing conflict over matters relating to their children.

Collaborative Law is, quite simply, a different way to divorce.

It’s a voluntary dispute resolution process in which the parties reach agreement without going to court. For those couples who are willing to seek creative and amicable problem-solving, Collaborative Law provides a constructive alternative to conventional divorce.

Let’s get started.
