In a collaborative divorce in Rochester, the parties contractually agree to abide by a negotiation framework for their divorce that keeps the matter out of court.
You will still have to resolve all the financial, property, and child custody and support issues of a divorce, but instead of arguing between lawyers, you’ll work with a collaborative divorce attorney who will guide the process.
This is a very different approach to divorce than the traditional adversarial method, which often results in a judge ruling on issues ranging from the disposition of a home to whether you’ll pay spousal maintenance, and how much.
Collaborative divorce tends to be less expensive than a litigated divorce, and many spouses find that the settlements that come out of the collaborative divorce process are more beneficial to them in the long term than what might have been decreed by a judge.
At Friedman & Ranzenhofer, we know that our clients want a divorce that protects what they value and leaves them in good condition for the future.
Call us today at 585-484-7432 for a legal consultation with an experienced Rochester collaborative divorce attorney.
