Collaborative Representation

Collaborative law is a dispute resolution process in which parties to a family law matter commit to settling their differences in a creative, honest, and respectful manner that does not involve going to court.

In a collaborative case, each party engages a collaboratively trained attorney and throughout the collaborative process both parties and attorneys abide by a set of written principles and guidelines.

The principles and guidelines generally in use in Contra Costa County, as well as other information on collaborative law, can be found at www.clacc.org.
