Collaborative Family Law is a process in which the clients and all attorneys have agreed contractually that no one will use or threaten to use the court system to resolve the disputes in question. If the case is not resolved in the collaborative process neither attorney can represent either party or participate in any way in court proceedings related to the dispute. Use of Collaborative Law processes to resolve family law cases often involves an interdisciplinary team of mental health, accounting and legal professionals all of whom must adhere to the ethical standards of their respective professions. Our family law attorneys are trained in the practice of Collaborative Law and are members of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and the Washington Collaborative Law group. Where use of Collaborative Law is appropriate, we will refer spouses and partners to other Collaborative Law practitioners.
