Stockton Collaborative Divorce Lawyer

Many California couples seeking to dissolve their marriages are discovering the increasingly popular option of a collaborative divorce.

A collaborative divorce is a new process of divorce that treats the separating parties and their lawyers as part of a team, not enemies to be battled in family court. Though you may never have heard of a collaborative divorce, this option is growing in popularity simply because it is more amicable and less stressful than the average case of divorce.

Each of the spouses will acquire their own separate divorce attorneys, after which they will all sign a document agreeing to work together during the divorce proceeding without any act of lashing out or aggression. Each of the attorneys works with each other and with each spouse to effectively negotiate all matters that arise during the divorce proceeding including child custody, visitation, separation of assets, and more.

If at any point a collaborative divorce breaks down, each partner is legally free to seek out other attorneys.

The Stockton family lawyer is happy to work with any client that would like to try a collaborative divorce. Clients that choose a collaborative divorce often find that it is the most peaceful and respectful type of divorce process. It is also oftentimes faster and less expensive than the typical court divorce proceeding.
