At Scott & Beaven Law Office we understand that family matters are often emotionally charged and complex. Whether you are going through a divorce, resolving parenting time and decision-making issues, or dealing with other family-related legal matters, our goal is to make the process as smooth and amicable as possible. We are proud to offer Collaborative Law and Non-Contested Family Law services, which focus on resolution without litigation.
Collaborative Law is a unique, client-centered approach to resolving family disputes. Instead of going through the adversarial court system, Collaborative Law allows you and your spouse, along with your respective lawyers, to work together to find mutually beneficial solutions. This process prioritizes cooperation, transparency, and creative problem-solving. It is an excellent choice for parties who want to preserve their relationships, especially if children are involved.
In a Collaborative Law process, both parties sign an agreement committing to resolving their issues out of court. If the process does not result in a settlement, both parties must retain new legal representation for the court proceedings. This agreement ensures that everyone is invested in finding a solution that works for everyone involved.
Your matter stays out of the public courtroom, protecting your family’s privacy.
The process often takes less time than traditional litigation.
By avoiding prolonged court proceedings, you may incur fewer legal fees.
A non-confrontational approach helps preserve family relationships, especially important when children are involved.
At Scott & Beaven Law Office, we also assist with Non-Contested Family Matters, which are ideal for parties who agree on the terms of their separation or divorce. These matters are typically resolved without the need for court intervention, making the process quicker and less stressful.
