Collaborative Law
Collaborative Law is a great option for couples who would like to have attorney advocacy, but also remain out of court and save time, money, and minimize the hostility that is so often a part of divorce. Each party chooses a Collaborative Attorney, as well as a Financial Neutral, Child Specialist, and Divorce Coach as needed to build a team that guides and supports you through the process of reaching a settlement that best serves your family.

FAMILY LAW & CHILDREN
Kristen helps couples discuss all issues concerning children, finances, and property, and helps them work out a settlement that best serves their needs. You never have to go to court, which generally saves you time and money. Parenting plans and decisions around children can be mediated, whether you are married or not. For most couples that are co-parenting children, staying out of court remains the best and least expensive option. Learn More
