Collaborative Law offers a better way to resolve divorce, custody, parenting time, and other legal issues. It is also a more productive way to resolve business disputes, employment disputes, and many other civil litigation matters.

By agreeing to create a resolution outside of court, both parties avoid many of the strains that arise from a litigated settlement. In divorce cases, collaborative law fosters better communication between divorcing spouses, which can greatly benefit the children. Attorneys specially trained in this area of law are your guides on this cooperative road to resolution. Collaborative Law is also generally less expensive than traditional divorces litigated in court.

Collaborative Law is fairly new to Iowa, but has been successfully used in many other states, for many years.
