Mediation and Collaborative Divorce Attorney in Spokane, Washington
Empowering Clients to Find Their Own Creative Solutions
Divorce litigation can be a lengthy and expensive process. If you are looking for a less confrontational and costly alternative, mediation or collaborative law might be better solutions for you and your family.
Differences Between Mediation and Collaborative Law
Mediation involves a neutral third party mediator to help the divorcing couple come to their own conclusions about property division and parenting plans. In divorce mediation, both parties may choose to be represented by their own attorneys.
Collaborative Law requires both parties to be represented by collaborative counsel who are certified in collaborative law. You and your spouse come together in a cooperative manner to reach solutions that are satisfactory to both of you. You drive the decision-making process rather than allowing a judge to make decisions for you. Collaborative divorce agreements regarding child custody or parenting plans require court approval.
If a resolution can't be agreed on in collaborative divorce meetings, attorney ethical rules require you to complete the divorce litigation process with a different lawyer.
