Mediation and Collaborative Law

Dissolving a marriage and sorting out child custody can be difficult even without a protracted court battle.  Fortunately, there are alternatives for clients who enlist the services of Atlanta collaborative lawyers.

Atlanta collaborative divorce law and divorce mediation in Atlanta are cost- and time-efficient ways to amicably resolve your legal issues without entering a courtroom.

• Collaborative law—The parties and their Atlanta collaborative attorneys commit to using a team approach to resolve all issues including finances, property division, custody, and visitation without litigation. If successful, the parties of a collaborative divorce in Atlanta conclude with a uniquely crafted agreement based on their personal priorities and a basis for communicating and problem solving in the future.

• Mediation—As an Atlanta divorce mediator, I offer neutral and experienced guidance through all family law issues. The goal of a divorce mediator in Atlanta is to facilitate the parties in negotiations to reach a compromise that is perhaps not ideal for either party but a reasonable outcome with less risk and expense than litigating.

Both Atlanta collaborative law and Atlanta divorce mediation provide an opportunity for spouses to discuss the details of their divorce in a productive, non-combative manner. Each spouse must display a willingness to cooperate and compromise. When both parties are able to do so, it enables them to make decisions without the aid of a judge.

When collaborative attorneys in Atlanta help resolve a case through collaborative law or mediation, the result is often customized divorce and custody agreements that better fit your needs.

As a trained mediator in Atlanta collaborative family law and civil law and a registered neutral with the Georgia Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution and several Atlanta-area courts, I recommend these alternatives to my clients when appropriate.
