Collaborative Family Law
Offering 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 firm's Dallas and Plano area collaborative family law attorneys were among the first lawyers in Texas to take advantage of the collaborative law process. Partners Paula Larsen and Angie Bain participated in the first collaborative law training held in Texas in January 2000. We remain at the cutting-edge of the law, offering lectures on collaborative family law throughout Texas. Contact our law firm to discover the benefit of alternative dispute resolution.

Benefits of Collaborative Law
Collaborative law offers an alternative to trial. Often, the complexities in divorce and other family law matters have less to do with the law than ironing out the conflicts. We provide collaborative legal services to help smooth out disagreements, instead of adding fuel to them. Our firm's Dallas and Plano area collaborative family law attorneys offer a hands-on approach focused on outlining the structure and benefits of collaboration, including:
- Goals identified at the onset
- Structured process helps cut down the emotional and financial costs of resolving disputes
- Negotiations occur in an office, not a courtroom
- Collaborative law is private, as opposed to divorce court
- Both parties must agree to the final resolution
Collaboration helps foster an environment for mutual agreements to be reached with open and honest communication. A final agreed final decree of divorce or order regarding the parent-child relationship is then sent to the judge for signature.
