Collaborative Law/ Tarrant/ Dallas/ Denton/ Collin - A Service from Law Office of Shannon M. Sears, P.C.

Divorce is difficult and painful process at best and can be tragic, so the goal is to not add to the pain with the process.  Spouses often see themselves as adversaries in a battle called Divorce.  Divorcing couples experience confusion, anger, feelings of loss and lack of hope.  The fall out sometimes makes post divorce communication almost impossible.  However, there is a better way.

It doesn't have to be "divorce-by-trial."  Lawyers and other professionals trained in Collaborative Law Practice offer a more reasonable approach based on the concepts of mutual respect and open and honest communication.  They focus on the welfare of the child(ren), offer a more amiable and cooperative ending and a healthier new beginning.

This different approach begins with a written agreement to be a participant in a process that requires cooperation in communicating honestly and openly with one another and with the professionals involved.  Instead of an endless airing of grievances, a workable settlement outside the courtroom, where the parties are involved keep the control and author their own agreed upon solutions, rather than letting a stranger (the Judge) order them.

If you are contemplating divorce and this sounds like a more sane, reasonable and responsible approach, call Shannon Sears, Attorney at Law, at 817-416-2711 and make an appointment.
