Central Valley Collaborative Law Affiliates
Collaborative family law is an innovative approach to restructuring your family after divorce which focuses on the needs of your family and allows you and the other person to be in charge of the decisions affecting the rest of your life.
Central Valley Collaborative Law Affiliates is a group of family law attorneys and allied professionals whose members are devoted to collaborative practice in family law matters.
The goal of the collaborative process is to assist the parties in finding their own resolution of their disputes, by recognizing each party's legitimate interests and concerns. Through renouncing litigation, divorcing parties are better able to identify and pursue these interests and ultimately craft a mutually acceptable settlement. The process reduces acrimony, uncertainty, and litigation costs. Self respect and respect for the other spouse are preserved in the process, enhancing each party's regard for the other as well as their ability to deal with the other party in the future.
