Approach:

Charlotte practices Collaborative Family Law which is a co-operative approach to negotiating and settling family related issues and disputes. There are some important differences between the collaborative and traditional approach:

Both ex-spouses agree to stay out of court.
There is a voluntarily exchange of all relevant information.
There is a commitment to co-operate and be respectful.
The focus is on crafting solutions that consider everyone involved.
The sole objective is to reach an efficient, fair and comprehensive settlement of all issues.

The Collaborative Approach has Many Benefits:

You and your former partner work together to find viable solutions that are situation specific. This can be done in four-way meetings with your respective lawyers. It can also be done with you in the background, providing instruction, but preferring not to be involved in face-to-face meetings.
The process is less stressful for your children because there is less conflict between the parents.
You and your ex-partner have control over both the process and the outcome.
The process is generally less costly and more efficient than litigation.
