Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative Law Services in Ridgefield, Connecticut

The divorce process can be acrimonious and highly emotional. However, if both parties are able and willing to commit to working together through the process, rather than engaging in a costly drawn out courtroom battle, they are much more likely to come to agreements that work best for the entire family moving forward.

Working Together to Resolve Issue

Collaborative law involves an agreement by both parties to make every effort to resolve the issues related to their divorce through negotiations and mediation, rather than going to court and leaving the decisions up to a judge. This is often a much more appealing choice because the parties themselves are able to decide critical issues.

When there are children involved, resolving parenting issues in the collaborative law process is often the better choice for the family. If both parents can work together through the divorce process to develop a child custody and parenting plan, it is much more probable that they will be able to co-parent better in the future.

The success of the collaborative law process is dependent upon all the parties' commitments to working together to come to a suitable agreement. When it is clear that collaborative law is not a feasible option, Attorney O'Connor is also a skilled and experienced litigator who can represent you in family court.
