Spring Collaborative Family Mediation Attorney
Smith & Garg - Spring Collaborative Attorneys
Family law, like everything else, has changed with the times. This area of law has seen a remarkable development as the number of divorces in the United States has skyrocketed and court dockets become more and more filled. As a result of this reality, two modes of settling divorce cases have come about, and Smith & Garg is a law firm that can handle both of them. We are a firm of Spring collaborative law attorneys and Spring family mediation attorneys who will be able to explain these processes to you and guide you through the process.
Spring Collaborative Law Attorneys - The Process
Collaborative law is an innovative concept that was designed to help parties to a divorce work towards a settlement and avoid the time, stress and expense of litigation. Basically, this is a system of settlement, and a Spring collaborative law attorney from Smith & Garg will represent you as you meet with your spouse and his or her attorney. These meetings are designed to provide full disclosure and a civil form of dispute resolution. If you do not feel that you and your spouse can work collectively towards a solution, then this is not a process for you.
Spring Family Mediation Attorneys - The Process
The intent behind family mediation is much the same as it is behind collaborative law - a process whereby the parties to a divorce attempt to seek a solution to all divorce-related issues without having to go to court and fight it out, thereby incurring potentially enormous expenses and a lifetime of acrimony. If you think mediation is a possibility, you'll still need the help of a Spring family mediation attorney from Smith & Garg to help you through this process. Mediation works by having an objective mediator meet with the parties to a divorce and work with the parties towards reaching a civil settlement. The mediator is someone with experience in working in these types of situations, and specific techniques are used in order to push towards a result that's fair and acceptable to both parties.
As you see, these two relatively new approaches to finalizing a divorce are promising, but they also require a high degree of knowledge. Contact a collaborative law and/or a Spring family mediation attorney today to find out more about these possibilities.
This is not an exhaustive list, but rather a wide set of examples of the types of issues that can arise when dealing with a family law-related matter. You may be suffering from the impending end of your marriage, or you may be looking for post-divorce relief by way of reduced child support payments, increased visitation rights or perhaps a protective or restraining order to protect your rights. Regardless of your situation, the worst decision you can make is to allow this situation to fester, as it will only exacerbate the circumstances. It's time to take hold of your rights, and you can do so by contacting a Conroe, Spring family lawyer at Smith & Garg immediately to schedule an initial consultation.
