CLP’s members seek to help families and individuals find a healthy, collaborative way to dissolve their partnership. As part of a Collaborative Law Team they seek to resolve disputes together, facilitate collaborative problem solving and help families manage the financial, emotional and legal impact of divorce. We acknowledge that divorcing parents and partners know their families best and strive to help keep decision making in their hands.
We acknowledge the basic dignity and right to peaceful resolution of every person involved in divorce. We support a calm, problem-solving approach to issues of child care and custody, with the intent of helping divorcing partners’ work together to create the best possible outcome for their children.
Ultimately, we believe that the Collaborative Law process is the latest and best opportunity for couples and families of divorce to recapture the hopefulness and respect with which they began their journey. This allows both sides to preserve self-respect and map a clear path for the future.
