Illinois Collaborative Law Attorneys

There are many different ways in which a family law matter can be resolved in Illinois. Traditional litigation entails couples bringing their issues to court to be decided by a judge, who may or may not be familiar with their circumstances.  A new method of alternative dispute resolution, known as Collaborative Law, allows couples to utilize separate collaborative law attorneys to find a solution uniquely-tailored and suitable to both parties.

While mediation may work best for couples who can agree to compromise on issues relating to child custody, visitation, and property division, collaborative law employs the experience of a knowledgeable collaborative law attorney to ensure your best interests are protected.  The collaborative process also allows divorce and family law matters be resolved within a matter of months, as opposed to the years that divorce litigation often takes.

Contact our Illinois collaborative law attorneys if you are interested in settling your family law matters with help from our team of trained Illinois collaborative law attorneys. We are available to explain in detail how the process works during an initial consultation. Call (630) 665-7676.

Illinois Collaborative Law Attorneys to Resolve Your Divorce

At Sullivan Taylor & Gumina, we pride ourselves on being able to access a variety of professional resources to educate our clients on all manners of alternative dispute resolution. Whether your concerns are over child and spousal support arrangements or child relocation, our attorneys can offer you sound legal guidance in the collaborative law process.

Once couples agree to the collaborative law process, they also contractually agree not to litigate in court. If a satisfactory divorce settlement cannot be reached by the parties, then both attorneys must withdraw from the case and can no longer represent the parties in future divorce proceedings.   This aspect of collaborative law ensures that each spouse proceeds in good faith, with an eye towards  a resolution that benefits everyone.  Couples find the collaborative law process to be one of the most effective and amicable ways to resolve their divorce or family law issues.
