Divorce Family Law Associates of Richmond, PC attorneys are trained in Collaborative Divorce, a method of reaching resolution during difficult times without the emotional toll and acrimonious tone that a court battle can create.Collaborative Divorce is a process in which the parties agree to settle their issues outside of court, only utilizing the Court’s assistance in entering court orders that reflect the parties’ settlement. At the outset, a participation agreement is signed by both parties. This agreement obligates the parties to use every effort to settle the case while being forthcoming and respectful. Should the process suffer a breakdown and the parties desire to have a judge rule on their case, new attorneys must be obtained and a 30-day waiting period is imposed prior to any filings being made with the court.In order to proceed with a Collaborative Divorce approach, both attorneys must have the requisite training.
