Collaborative Law

The Odorisi Law Firm has a certified Collaborative legal Attorney (member of the Association of Collaborative Family Law Attorneys, Inc.) who can participate in the Collaborative Law process to settle most family law issues. Collaborative Law is a new and exciting approach to divorce, separation, annulment, custody, support and other family law issues. It is a form of mediation where parties meet to discuss the issues that arise in a divorce but with the assistance and guidance of certified collaborative law attorneys. The collaborative process assists spouses in dealing with the stress over their marital breakup, and helps them identify real issues while keeping in focus the true needs of their children. It is a process where clients work with experienced family law attorneys to help guide them to an amicable resolution of their marital problem without the need for costly litigation. The goals of collaborative law are to achieve results based on facilitated agreement where possible, and are set forth in the website for the Association of Collaborative Law Attorney at http://www.nycollaborativelaw.com.

"The essence of Collaborative Law is the shared belief that it is in the best interests of the Parties and their family to commit themselves to resolving their differences with minimal conflict."
