If you are visiting this page, you are likely struggling with one of the most difficult decisions in your life.  Whether you are considering divorce, in the midst of a divorce, or attempting to modify support or custody, family issues can be stressful and consuming.  In the past, divorce has been  one of the most destructive and expensive decisions a couple makes.   Modifying an existing court order can be just as difficult.  However, there is now a choice.  Through the collaborative process, a divorce or modification can be achieved without litigation and in most cases, more cost effectively.

Collaborative Family Law offers a mutually respectful, solutions-oriented process where parties and their attorneys pledge to resolve isssues without relying on the court system.   Decisions are made privately and agreed upon by both parties.  Public court hearings and testimony are kept to a minimum and the parties control the process instead of the court.  By promoting a non-adversarial atmosphere, the parties can resolve disputes amicably which in turn improves the relationships of the parents and the children involved.

If you are considering divorce or modification, consider a collaborative divorce or modification.  Preserving the parental relationship not only helps the children adjust to the new family environment, but also helps the parents adjust to co-parenting their children after the divorce. There are collaborative lawyers in Tulsa that have been specifically trained in this field.  If the lawyer has not been specifically trained, they may not understand or have the expertise to handle family issues collaboratively.  Please visit the additional pages of this website for more information.
