Collaborative Law Offers a No-Court Alternative
If your marriage is ending, you may feel overwhelmed. Collaborative Law (also called Collaborative Divorce or Collaborative Practice) is a structured process that provides an alternative to court. The Collaborative choice offers you the opportunity to focus on what is important to you, your family and your future.
Couples facing separation and divorce encounter many challenges — especially when children are involved. Parents must resolve important issues with significant thought to the after-effects. Collaborative Family Law provides a positive context in which to deal with these concerns without resorting to litigation.
The lawyers and clients sign a Participation Agreement which provides that if the parties are unable to reach a settlement, the lawyers will withdraw from the case and assist the clients in transitioning the case to trial attorneys. By establishing an open, cooperative environment, parties and their counsel can work toward a settlement that benefits everyone.

Cincinnati Academy of Collaborative Professionals Basic Interdisciplinary Training
August 8 and 9, 2013
Cincinnati, OH
Ohios Collaborative Law Statutes became effective in March, 2013. Now is the time to attend a Collaborative Practice Basic Workshop!!!!
Collaborative Practice is a structured problem-solving approach designed to maximize options available to couples dissolving their marriages. A fundamental feature of the process requires that any identified professional engaged in the Collaborative case does not participate in any future litigation.
In Cincinnati, Collaborative cases sometimes involve trained Collaborative lawyers only and often involve a team that includes other trained professionals. Mental health practitioners are engaged as Child and Family Relations Specialists and financial professionals are engaged to focus on financial issues and develop support and property division options as Financial Specialists. The goal of all Collaborative professionals is to empower parties to be directly involved in the resolution of their case.
The Cincinnati Academy of Collaborative Professionals Basic Training will cover:
" Defining Collaborative Practice
" The Paradigm Shift
" Interest-based Collaborative negotiation
" The role of the Collaborative Lawyer
" The role of the Collaborative Family Relations Specialist
" The role of the Collaborative Financial Professional
Facilitators: Legal: Sherri Goren Slovin, J.D.
Family Relations: Barbara Hummel, M.Ed. LPC

A Clients’ Paradigm, Not A Lawyer’s Web...
In order for a case to be Collaborative, there must be a signed Collaborative Agreement. If a lawyer tells you he or she can work "collaboratively" with your spouse's attorney, without the risks and rewards of the Collaborative Participation contract, it is not truly a Collaborative matter. Such a lawyer may be more concerned with preserving his or her opportunity to earn fees in litigation and this may be an impediment to the empowerment you can receive by utilization of the Collaborative Process.
