1. Individual Legal Advice
Meet with your attorney and receive legal advice targeted to your priorities, concerns, and goals around parenting, finances, and property.
What Is a Negotiated Divorce Agreement?
A negotiated divorce agreement is a legal, personalized agreement created between spouses without going to court. With the help of your individual attorneys, you and your spouse work together to resolve important issues like the division of assets, child custody, child support, and spousal support and child support.
This process is ideal for couples who each want an attorney to advocate for them, but still want to protect their privacy, reduce conflict, and stay in control of their outcomes.

Why Choose a Negotiated Divorce Agreement?
Negotiated divorce agreements offer a private and dignified alternative to traditional divorce. You and your spouse each have your own independent attorney who will advocate for your respective needs, while still sharing a common goal of helping you reach a resolution that works for each of you and your children. You get individual legal support without the delays, expenses, or animosity of a courtroom battle.
Negotiations happen outside the public courtroom, keeping your personal matters confidential and dignified.
Agreements are tailored to your family’s unique needs, not limited by rigid court rulings.
Your attorney negotiates on your behalf in a cooperative way, which minimizes emotional strain and fosters respectful communication during and after divorce.
Without being tied to the court’s calendar and subject to its delays, you can finalize your divorce more quickly and move forward with your life.
