Collaborative Family Law

A better way to resolve divorce disputes

Under Texas law, parties entering into divorce are encouraged to reach an agreement through negotiation. Even in complex marital property and child custody cases, collaborative family law is often an effective way to resolve marriage dissolution issues outside of the courtroom and minimize cost.

Our attorneys were among the first in Texas to utilize the collaborative law process. Partners Paula Larsen and Angie Bain, participated in the first collaborative law training held in Texas in January 2000 and they continue to lead our firm's efforts to utilize the collaborative process for the peaceful resolution of family disputes. Both Angie and Paula lecture on collaborative family law at legal education seminars.

Collaborative law allows the parties the opportunity to reach a solution that takes into consideration the highest priorities of both spouses and their children.

Our collaborative family law services include:

  • Divorce representation
  • Child custody and parenting plan resolution
  • Allocation of child expenses
