Methods for Arriving at a Divorce Agreement
There are many different ways the couples approach divorce: some are experiencing a great deal of conflict; some have many points of agreement, most are in between. There are several different methods for arriving at property and child custody agreements. These include divorce court, out-of-court negotiations, mediation (using a third party neutral) and the collaborative law process. Divorce attorney Mitchell A. Sherman can represent you with any of these methods.
Mr. Sherman is trained in collaborative divorce. The goal of collaborative divorce is to avoid a long and often costly court case. In this process, each member of the couple and their individual attorneys work together to arrive at decisions. If experts are brought into the process — for example, accountants or child custody evaluators — a single expert is agreed upon by the parties and that expert attends the settlement conference to present their information.
If the collaborative law attorneys fail to help the couple reach agreements, these attorneys are excused from the case and the couple can proceed to court.
