I like the idea that Collaborative Family law allows all the parties to work together to arrive at a solution that reflects the indivduality of each family. It allows a team approach to resolving disputes and is much more child focused than tradtional family litigation. That allows more opportunity for 'win win' situations and in family law that is rare indeed.

| General Comments |
| I have been practising family law since 1990. Over my many years of practise it became increasing clear to me that the courts were not suited to resolve most family law conflicts. The cost and acrimony involved in litigated family disputes made it very unlikely that divorcing parents would ever be able to have a constructive relationship with each other after their dispute was resolved. I am therefore very pleased that there is an alternative. Collaborative Practice emphasizes a team and transparent approach which greatly increases the likelihood that both parties to the dispute work together with their lawyers to come up with creative and unique solutions that suit their family. Not the one size fits all approach that litigation forces on you. The custom made resolution that a collaborative approach allows results in less acrimony and a much quicker settlement. |
