Collaborative law is a process by which the attorneys for both parties work together, often with the parties in the room, through a series of meetings to try to resolve the divorce in a peaceful and respectful manner. Collaborative attorneys will discuss this alternative form of legal representation at the initial meeting, plus they will provide information on their website.
