There is no changing the fact that couples divorce. Statistics show that about half of first marriages end in divorce, and the percentage of subsequent marriages that end in divorce is much greater – some estimate as high as 70 percent.

Litigated divorces pit good people against each other, forcing them to focus on how bad the other person is in order to "win" their case in court. But in reality there are no "winners" in a litigated divorce, only losers. People lose respect for each other; they lose important relationships; they lose the financial and emotional resources that could be used to improve their and their children’s lives; they lose self-esteem and dignity.

Collaborative Family Law offers a long-awaited alternative to people who want to chart a different course for their lives without destroying anyone in the process. The Collaborative Family Law process, founded on the fundamental belief that all people have value and deserve to be treated with respect, invites divorcing couples to put all of their resources toward an efficient, streamlined, dignified way to part company and move forward with their restructured family.
