We believe in reducing conflict rather than escalating it. When possible we use a variety of ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) techniques including Mediation, Collaboration, and Arbitration.
ADR allows parties to resolve even complex and difficult divorces outside of court. These processes are much better for managing conflict than the trial by fire of a court proceeding, which tends to escalate mudslinging and aggravate tensions by turning the spouses into adversaries.
Settling a case outside of court can provide much more privacy to the parties (no arguments in open court, no detailed court filings laying out accusations and finances).
More importantly it allows you and your spouse to design a solution that is tailored to your situation and is based on your concerns, goals, and interests rather than the limited concerns of the legal system.
It also encourages parents to find ways to effectively and cooperatively co-parent, rather than treating the children as something to be fought over. We believe that this kind of approach provides a much healthier future for children of divorced parents.
