Washington Collaborative Law Attorney

A different approach to amicably resolving family law and other legal issues is collaborative law. This method is client-centered and client-driven. It can provide a means to maintain relationships beyond the divorce process, such as co-parenting of children or maintaining contact with extended family members. At the Law Offices of Susan Millican O'Brian & Associates, P.S. Link to Firm Overview, both of our exceptional attorneys are members of Washington Collaborative Law and the Family Law Practice Group, as well as members of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals. Our attorneys are not only specifically trained in and highly knowledgeable of the collaborative process, but also reliable allies in the course of seeking a mutual agreement in a family law situation.

Collaborative law is designed to facilitate communication between both parties in a dispute. These parties, along with their attorneys, all sign a four-way agreement which details their pledge to keep the case out of court and to refrain from threatening to take the case to court if the road gets rocky.

A collaborative divorce lawyer not only handles the divorce through the collaborative process, but also can help resolve any issues that stem from the dissolution such as custody, support, and property division. Many of our clients find this process helpful if they have children. Also, the integrity of each party's goals is maintained throughout the process. The collaborative law process is also available for post-dissolution issues that need resolution in a more cooperative environment.
