Divorce Agreement Settlement
Collaborative law is a growing trend in Texas, and for good reason. People who are divorcing or involved in other family legal disputes are usually able to resolve their cases through the assistance of attorneys and counselors for half the cost of traditional litigation. Collaborative law keeps individuals in control of their own family law cases, with less stress.

It is not necessary for couples to have an agreement in mind before beginning the collaborative legal process. Clear ground rules and a mutual commitment to preservation of resources for the family enable most divorcing couples to take advantage of the benefits of collaborative law.
If you decide to resolve your family law matter through a collaborative law approach, you and your spouse will commit yourselves to craft your divorce agreement settlement with the help of attorneys and divorce counselors. You will commit to using no court means to resolve conflicts: there will be no witnesses, no temporary orders, and no protective orders.
Each of you will most likely retain an attorney trained in collaborative law. Private negotiation sessions will take place in a law office. You will use as many sessions as are necessary to complete divorce settlement negotiations.
Both parties in a collaborative law divorce will agree to ground rules such as a pledge to communicate in a courteous and civilized manner, and a pledge to hide no key pieces of information about property. Once the parties have finalized their settlement, one of the lawyers will file the Final Order in court.
A divorce handled through a collaborative law approach typically costs half as much as a traditionally litigated divorce. It is also much less emotionally damaging. It often works even for clients who are angry or hurt and no longer believe they can communicate with the other side. Why pay for litigation when 93% of the cases will settle?
