  • Save money
  • Save time
  • Save the ability to communicate with one another after divorce

Communicate Effectively After Divorce
Call 770-884-7196 or e-mail for your first consultation.

Attorney Mark Shriver of The Shriver Law Firm is trained in both collaborative family law and in mediation. He has been helping couples resolve difficult family law matters since 1981 and has found that the less conflict at the time of divorce the better the relationship will be after the divorce. He can talk to you about collaborative divorce and help you understand whether this approach makes sense for your unique situation.

Collaborative Divorce Gives You Power Over the Process

The collaborative divorce process sidesteps the court process altogether. It allows you and your spouse, along with your attorneys, to work informally to resolve your differences at times and places that work for you. You do not end up putting the decisions for the most important things in your life into the hands of a judge who does not know you.

Work Through Your Differences

In a collaborative family law matter like divorce, you must sign an agreement not to litigate (fight in court) but to resolve their differences through a collaboration and mediation. If collaboration breaks down, then the parties must obtain new lawyers and start the process over from the beginning.

  • What if you are divorcing but you and your spouse want to effectively communicate and co-parent together after your divorce?
  • What if you want to remain friends with your spouse after your divorce but are concerned that the legal process may potentially derail your friendship?
  • What if you want to remain on good terms with your spouse after the divorce but you just cannot see how to come to agreement over property division or custody?
