Collaborative Law

What is Collaborative Law? ... Simply put, Collaborative Law is a new development in resolving Family Law disputes. Collaborative Law aims to keep divorce out of the Family Law Courts where both clients and their lawyers work together to achieve resolution. Tom Reeve of Marsdens Law Group, an Accredited Family Law Specialist, has formed an association with other Accredited Specialists in Family Law in the Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly areas. Together, this association can offer its clients an alternative way to resolve their family law disputes.

So, How Does it Work? ... The first step is for all parties ( the two clients and their solicitors) to sign a "Participation Agreement" This Agreement forms a promise that the lawyers will not take the matter to court.

This approach to Family Law dispute resolution focuses on solutions that satisfy the needs of both parties in an informal and friendly atmosphere where delay, litigation and high court costs are non-existent.
