Collaborative Divorce

If you are seeking counsel in the San Jose, Santa Clara County, California area concerning collaborative divorce, Ernest can help.

Collaborative divorce, often called collaborative law or collaborative practice, is a process whereby the parties, and often their attorneys, agree to work cooperatively together and not go to court. All parties freely exchange information, meet outside court to discuss openly all issues, and strive to be as amicable as possible while working together to resolve whatever disputed issues there are.

Working collaboratively is not for everybody but it can be a wonderful way to resolve a divorce case as it is much less expensive and less stressful because the litigation element is not present. The parties and their attorneys may not agree on all points but the idea is that both sides will be fair and open with one another and that reasonable discussions will be held, documents exchanged, and proposals made that are equitable to each side.

There is a good article on Wikipedia that discusses just what collaborative law is all about, so if you would like additional information you should visit this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_divorce
