G  oing to court can be financially taxing and emotionally stressful. The legal process is often acrimonious and confrontational. At Tuzinski & Zick, L.L.C. we work to solve your problems outside the courtroom if possible. Our extensive knowledge of the collaborative process can ease the burden.

What is the collaborative law process?

Collaborative law involves the parties and their respective attorneys working with neutral professionals to reach mutually beneficial agreements without going to court.

The collaborative process begins with a Participation Agreement signifying each spouse’s willingness to work through issues and construct agreements outside of court.

The negotiation process requires full financial and property disclosure and transparency by each party.

At Tuzinski & Zick, L.L.C., we routinely handle collaborative law cases and reach successful agreements without going to court.

How do I know if the collaborative law process is right for me?

The collaborative law process offers many advantages to participants. Specifically, the process offers:

• A respectful and dignified setting where you can focus on your family’s needs and reach a favorable conclusion.
• Understanding and qualified professionals dedicated to easing the transition your family is facing as you go through the process of ending your marriage.
• An atmosphere focused on communication and negotiation without conflict and tension.
• The peace of mind that you have all of the information, resources and support you need to determine what your family needs and the best avenue for addressing your concerns and solving problems

What is family mediation and what does the mediation process entail?

A mediator is a neutral third party that facilitates the process of identifying potential issues that need to be dealt with and gathering all necessary information in an informal setting.

You can usually have your attorney present during mediation sessions, and your attorney will be able to prepare and file all legal documents reflecting the agreements reached during mediation.
