are saying about Collaborative Family Law and its
impact on divorcing couples.
"Collaborative divorce encourages the parties to communicate directly
and resolve issues without court intervention. Agreements reached by
the parties themselves ill better meet the family's needs and have far
greater likelihood of long term success than orders imposed by a judge
at the end of a court trial. Most importantly, collaborative divorce
helps parents work together to focus on the best interests of their
children and to avoid the damage caused by ongoing litigation."

Circuit Court Judge
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin



"Professionals with extensive experience working in the trenches know there has to be a better way
to help people through a difficult process. With Collaborative Family Law, issues are identified and
dealt with directly by coaches, attorneys, and child specialists. It's certainly a better alternative."

"I chose Collaborative Family Law because I wanted a respectful process. My main interest was in
our daughter. Ultimately, I did not want to leave a negative legacy. We were able to maintain control
of the outcome, rather than accepting the terms of an imposed order. We also realized significant
savings by avoiding litigation."

"A Collaborative Family Law team seeks 'win-win' solutions, not endless litigation. It works because
collaborative lawyers see divorce as a problem to be solved, not a battle to be won. A collaborative
team approach offers privacy and respect and supports the promise of a brighter future for all family
members."
