Senior partner Melinda G. Tell is an experienced negotiator and collaborative divorce lawyer, and a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.

Collaborative Divorce is designed to resolve the issues in a family breakup using cooperative strategies rather than conflict and litigation. The process is open and mutually respectful. There must be full disclosure and good faith. If needed, jointly selected experts such as child psychologists and financial planners are enlisted to assist in finding solutions which focus on the needs of the children and the financial well-being of all involved. The parties are direct participants in the outcome, with legal advice and support from their attorneys to assist them.

While a divorce is always best resolved by agreement between the parties without court intervention, there are pitfalls in even a consensual divorce which can be avoided by experienecd counsel.Do not take a chance by being your own lawyer when child custody and/or valuable property rights are at stake.
