Williams Divorce and Family Law
Minnesota Collaborative Law Information
What is collaborative divorce?
Collaborative divorce is one way of resolving a divorce case without going to court, and the primary way of doing so knowing from the beginning that the case will conclude without contested court proceedings. In the collaborative process, the parties and attorneys agree at the beginning of the divorce case to refrain from resorting to court motions and trials throughout the entire proceeding. Where there are disputed issues, the parties negotiate and, as necessary, proceed with alternate dispute resolution, such as mediation, to reach an amicable conclusion to the divorce case. Collaborative divorce is part of Gerald O. Williams' practice. For more information on collaborative divorce, this link will launch the Collaborative Law Institute.
