Press Release Summary: In collaborative law, the parties are fully informed about
the law and the consequences of various options, and their advocates facilitate the
negotiations.

Press Release Body: Collaborative law, also known as the Collaborative Dispute
Resolution Process, is a method whereby the parties agree to resolve their disputes
without court intervention. It is a process that is based on facilitative
principles, such as mediation, but is distinct from mediation in that the parties
are represented by their own attorneys who facilitate the discussion in accordance
with an agreement.
Collaborative law has gained popularity particularly in the divorce context, where
the process is known as collaborative divorce. Visit the href=http://www.stlouiscollaborativelaw.com>st. louis collaborative divorce for
this.
Collaborative divorce is a way of practicing law whereby the attorneys for both of
the parties in a family dispute agree to assist them in resolving conflict using
cooperative strategies rather than adversarial techniques and litigation.
Early non-adversarial participation by the attorneys allows them to use attributes
of good lawyering not greatly utilized in the usual adversarial proceedings, namely
use of analysis and reasoning to solve problems, generation of options, and creation
of a positive context for settlement.
In collaborative divorce, both parties attempt to reach a settlement through a
series of meetings called joint sessions between the two parties and their lawyers,
and sometimes other neutral experts. These series of sessions focus on identifying
the priorities, goals, needs and interests of the parties, and help them progress
towards and create a settlement that is consistent with their priorities, goals,
needs, and interests. Check out what the href=http://www.stlouiscollaborativelaw.com>st. louis collaborative divorce has
to offer about this.
Collaborative law also makes use of a team approach, in which lawyers can call up
neutral consultants to help the couple make fully-informed, carefully considered,
settlement decisions. Typically, this will include, at a minimum, a
collaboratively-trained financial specialist.
The services of divorce coaches or communications coaches are sometimes used in to
help the participants clarify their needs, listen to the other\'s needs, and stay
focused throughout the negotiations, all of which substantially reduce the normal
anxiety often experienced in the divorce process and helps allow the co-creation of
a resolution. Visit the st. louis collaborative divorce for information about this.
Collaborative Practice (also known as Collaborative Law) is valuable in situations
where the parties have a need or a desire to maintain a relationship beyond the
conflict to achieve dignified closure. For more information about collaborative
