When a divorcing party goes to court to reach a decision to resolve family law matters, it is easy to view the former partner as an adversary. Divorce in Nevada can become a battleground. The inevitable conflict often has far-reaching consequences, not just for the parties, but for their children as well. Not to mention, there is a large financial cost, which can pale in comparison to the emotional and psychological costs. Choosing the Collaborative Process offers a respectful option focused on reaching an agreement, not battling an adversary. The lawyers pledge in writing not to go to court. The spouses and the lawyers negotiate in good faith and work together to achieve a mutually agreeable settlement outside of court. Collaborative Practice eases the emotional strains of a breakup and protects the well-being of children. Unlike a court process, the Collaborative Process also allows you the opportunity to explore emotional issues and look to more creative financial and parenting solutions – options that might not be available to a judge.
