Understanding Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative divorce is a private and cooperative process where both parties and their attorneys agree to work together to reach a settlement. Our firm, Erskine Family Law Firm, prioritizes open communication and mutual respect. The goal is to avoid court and instead negotiate a fair and lasting resolution. This process allows for creative solutions that litigation may not provide.

The Process of Traditional Litigation

Traditional litigation is an adversarial process where a judge makes all final decisions. While sometimes necessary, this approach can be emotionally and financially draining. At Erskine Family Law Firm, we are well-versed in litigation and prepared to advocate for your interests in court.

The Benefits of a Collaborative Approach

A collaborative approach is often less costly and faster than litigation, as it avoids lengthy court proceedings. It also allows you to maintain control over outcomes and helps preserve a civil co-parenting relationship, which is vital for the children involved.
