Your questions about
collaborative law
answered
What is collaborative law?
It is a process that provides an alternative
way of dealing with the consequences
arising from separation. Each person
appoints their own collaboratively trained
lawyer and they then all meet together to
work things out face to face. Each person
has their lawyer by their side throughout
and has support and legal advice as the
matter progresses.
Is it just another way of lawyers
making money?
No, it is an alternative way of resolving
disputes. The lawyers of course are
paid for the professional expertise but
they charge no more or less for working
collaboratively than they would working in
the more traditional way.
Is it cheaper than other options?
Sometimes but not always. Every couple
separating is different and it is hard to
compare what something would have
cost if another approach w 2W6VBF
