Collaborative Divorce Law

Illinois Collaborative Divorce Law Attorney - Also Forensic Accounting – Child Custody – Property Settlement

Traditional divorce proceedings can often take an adversarial turn, placing parties and children in physical and emotional harm’s way. Such a violent schism in a family may deeply affect children and adults for years to come. It is important to know that you do have dignified and respectful choices and options available. Collaborative divorce law is the process by which parties and their counsel agree in writing to make a good faith effort to reach a mutually acceptable resolution without resorting to expensive, painful, and time-consuming litigation.
