Collaborative Law - Did you know?

Collaborative Law Group of Nelson -- NoCourt.ca

  • Collaborative lawyers are interested in helping opposing parties reach mutually acceptable terms of a legally enforceable Separation Agreement.
  • You can apply for a no court divorce after you have reached the terms of a Separation Agreement through the collaborative divorce process.
  • Alternative dispute resolution is about find solutions rather than proving who is right.
  • It is very important that your rights and your children’s rights are protected through the terms of a separation agreement before you apply for a no court divorce.
  • Divorce does not have to be a fight. Let us coach you to design your own final divorce order through agreement. The Collaborative Process is the dignified way to divorce.
  • Collaborative lawyers are also trained mediators. But, a mediator alone cannot offer legal advice. In collaborative divorce, you have your legal adviser with you at all times.
  • Collaborative lawyers are interested in the health and well being of their community more than helping you prove who is right. Collaborative divorce is a healthy and dignified and fair solution.
  • Courts are about laying blame and finding fault. Collaborative divorce is no fault divorce. Collaborative law is about finding solutions to disputes.
  • In the court process, a judge decides who is the winner and who is the loser. In a collaborative divorce, the each member of the family are winners.
