Collaborative Family Law is a process for working out the legal issues involved in a separation, without going to court. You and your spouse each retain a Collaborative Lawyer, from our MEET OUR LAWYERS page. Once retained a meeting is scheduled to begin work together as a team to resolve the issues of your separation such as property division, custody access, and support.
The process is very different from the traditional adversarial legal approach, where the parties battle it out through their lawyers. Collaborative Family Law (often referred to as "CFL") is a cooperative process where the emphasis is on reaching solutions that address the goals of both parties, and meet the needs of the children.

Collaborative Practice, including Collaborative Law and interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce, is a way for you to resolve disputes respectfully -- without going to court -- while working with trained professionals who are important to all areas of your life. The term incorporates all of the models developed since Minnesota lawyer Stu Webb created Collaborative Law ideas in the 1980s.
First you meet alone with your collaborative family lawyer and together the two of you will talk about your goals, and your legal rights and responsibilities. Then the two of you will have a series of settlement meetings with your spouse and his or her lawyer. At the first settlement meeting both parties and both lawyers enter into an agreement to settle all issues without going to court.
