New York, Collaborative Divorce Lawyer
Divorce can be difficult enough without a long, expensive court battle where a judge makes the important decisions affecting you for the long term. Collaborative law offers a new, healthier alternative to a traditional, adversarial divorce. Rather than having judges without the time or resources to properly resolve your case in the best interests of you or your family, deciding your fate, collaborative divorce puts control over these critical decisions regarding family, finances and children's needs, in your hands.
At the Law Offices of Nicholas P. Barone, our deep community roots, respect for families and collaborative law experience provide us with a special incentive to help our clients work towards a divorce settlement that benefits the whole family, saving them time and money they can better use for their future goals as well as the additional stress of litigation of a divorce case in court.
If you face divorce in Westchester, Putnam or nearby county, contact a skilled legal advocate committed to the best possible solutions for you and your family.
Collaborative Law Process
The collaborative process is more about determining what is right for the whole family in terms of parenting, providing for the children's needs and establishing a sound financial footing to help ensure success. As a form of mediation, the collaborative process involves a commitment by divorcing spouses and their lawyers to work together, outside of the more adversarial courtroom setting, on a divorce settlement that fits their lives and their budget.
With the focus on problem-solving over punishing each other, collaborative divorce attorney Nicholas P. Barone can help you address crucial concerns involving custody, visitation rights, child support, alimony, and the fair division of assets and property. Collaborative divorce involves a serious commitment by all parties. If a mutually satisfying agreement cannot be reached and litigation in court becomes necessary, the lawyers must dismiss themselves and the couple must obtain new counsel to pursue further action in court.
Collaboration Law Benefits
Mutually beneficial cooperation not only lets you control the outcome of your divorce, it can spare your family the stress, time and expense of going to court. In addition to preserving your financial resources for more productive use, collaborative divorce has been proven to reduce the negative emotional impact to parents and children that a prolonged battle in court often causes.
