Collaborative Law

Santa Rosa Collaborative Law Attorney

There are alternatives to the traditional method of handling family law disputes in the courtroom. At the Law Office of Joel Richard Rubin, I help my clients find the best approach to resolving their family law matter. Whether you need a strong litigator or someone to help you with the collaborative law process, I can represent your interests and help you find a resolution in your family law case. Please contact me to schedule a reduced rate initial consultation.

In the collaborative process I try to provide my clients with realistic and accurate information to assist them in their efforts. All the parties involved contribute ideas and suggestions throughout the process of crafting agreements to address issues such as child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support, debt division, property division and attorneys' fees. The decisions made are designed to be thoughtful and workable for the entire family.

The traditional method of resolving family law disputes gives families less control over their futures. This method removes the decision-making power from the parties involved and transfers it to a judge, unless the parties come to agreements as the case moves forward. The traditional approach is often the best method for people who cannot amicably work together. I have extensive experience litigating difficult family law cases.

Both methods have their benefits, as well as possible drawbacks. It is important to have a knowledgeable lawyer on your side to help choose the right approach for you.
