Resolving Divorce Disputes through Collaborative Law
Resolutions with Integrity and Civility
Divorce litigation is rightly infamous for both its expense and its delays. Now there is an alternative in New Mexico—collaborative law. Collaborative law was designed to help divorcing couples avoid the challenges, expense and frustrations of divorce litigation. How? Collaborative law is generally:
- Faster than litigation because the process isn't reliant on court schedules
- Cheaper than litigation because resolutions are reached more quickly
- Less contentious than litigation because it involves attorneys, mental health professionals and financial professionals who are trained in collaborative law and how to maximize its advantages for participants
- More empowering to participants because they hold veto power regarding decisions on the full range of issues including child custody, property division and spousal support. In litigation, judges make irrevocable decisions regarding your property and your family
