Collaborative Practice helps families to work together to resolve parenting and financial issues without the need to go to court.
Collaborative Practice means working with families to resolve estate or succession planning issues without ending up in court.
Collaborative Practice is a way of settling disputes outside of courts. Participants are given legal, financial and emotional support by accredited professionals, enabling them to find fitting solutions while maintaining their important relationships.
