Trust Patton Law to
Manage Your Collaborative Divorce
Ending a marriage is one of the most stressful events one can go through, even when both parties are agreeable and willing to work together. At Patton Law, P.A. we have worked hard to become qualified and certified as a Collaborative Law Attorney. This means that you can keep your rights to be represented and still work with the other party. Collaborative Law tends to put emotionally charged cases into a longer term perspective. It focuses on the Clients best interests, usually in terms of privacy, as well as focusing upfront on the long term goal of an equitable settlement. In family law cases, the vast majority settle out before they go to a final hearing. Collaborative law cuts to the chase and focuses up front on reaching that settlement. Both parties are represented by attorneys looking for their client's best interest, and experts are brought in to handle many of the other issues. For example, nearly every divorce has some sort of equitable distribution of assets or liabilities. In a litigated divorce, each party would pay their attorney to go through the bills and records to determine what numbers are what. Instead of paying two attorneys to do this financial accounting, in collaborative law, the Attorneys understand that hiring a neutral financial expert to determine these things for both parties at once takes away the fight in determining numbers and agrees that this is what the fiscal situation is and the parties agree to pay one person to do that work instead of two. Everything is not always perfect in Collaborative Law, but when the parties agree that a fair, fast and efficient separation is in their best interests, it makes things much more efficient, and the lawyers are able to work to accomplishing your legal goals and interests instead of working toward fighting emotional battles. We have been approved as a member of the The Collaborative Professionals Association of Central Florida (www.cpacfl.com)
Despite the agreements made, many discover that divorce proceedings are unpredictable. Without proper legal representation, you can find yourself in a bad situation, fraught with anxiety and no support. This process allows you to each be represented by excellent attorneys who have agree to work collaboratively to meet the needs of our clients. This does not mean this we do not fight for our clients interests, but that we focus on the clients long term best interests, and seek to meet these goals. We have been trained to zealously advocate for your best interests, and finding alternative ways to get there just makes sense.
