Peaceful Solutions for Every Family
Collaborative law offers a respectful, team-based approach to resolving family matters without going to court. Whether you're going through a divorce or creating a parenting plan in a paternity case, collaborative law gives families the opportunity to move forward with dignity, cooperation, and care.
​
At The MGR Law Firm, we’re committed to helping families find peaceful resolutions that prioritize emotional well-being, financial stability, and the best interests of children. We believe legal transitions don’t have to be traumatic—they can be transformative.
​
What Is Collaborative Family Law?
Collaborative law is a voluntary, non-adversarial legal process. Instead of fighting in court, both parties work with specially trained professionals in a private, structured setting to reach customized agreements. The collaborative team may include:
-
Collaborative attorneys – one for each party, focused on peaceful resolution
-
A neutral mental health professional – to facilitate communication and support emotional wellness
-
A financial neutral – to help both parties make informed financial decisions
-
Other professionals – such as child specialists or business valuation experts, as needed
Everyone signs a participation agreement committing to resolve matters outside of court. This promotes honesty, transparency, and creative problem-solving—all while reducing stress and conflict.
