First Steps Towards Collaborative Resolution
Your relationship is coming to an end. It might just be time to start a new chapter in your life. You want to end the conflict peacefully. You want a collaborative resolution with your partner. So where do you begin?
Your first step is to determine whether or not a collaborative resolution will work for you and your partner. Often, if you are ready and willing to collaborate, so is your partner. But sometimes it may take some time or discussion to get both parties to agree that the collaborative approach will lead to the best outcome for everyone.
Collaborative law allows you to keep control of the process and to achieve a mutually agreeable outcome. Choosing to fight it out in Family Court strips you of power and ensures that key decisions will be made without you.
So what is this thing called collaborative law?
It is important that you are in control of yourself and your emotions during this tumultuous time of transition. Keeping calm and rational and knowing when to take a step back and ask for help about ending the relationship is best for all concerned, especially the children.
