Collaborative Law in Austin, Melissa Williams

When you get a divorce, you end your marriage relationship, but your parenting relationship continues. Collaborative law in Austin is an option that maximizes your post divorce parenting relationship, rather than maximizing your conflict. Collaborative law in Austin focuses on the future – on the solutions for your family. Litigation focuses on the past, on assigning blame. A common saying among every Austin divorce attorney is that no one’s relationship was ever enhanced at the courthouse. Litigation forces the parties to become adversaries and point out each other’s weaknesses or faults. A collaborative divorce in Austin gives you many more options. In litigation, judges are required to apply the guidelines in the Texas Family Code to your family.

As an Austin divorce attorney, I believe you and your spouse are in a much better, more informed position to make decisions for your children and your property than anyone else. Collaborative law in Austin gives you the creativity to come up with your own solutions – the ones that work for your family.
