Denton County Collaborative Professionals is considering expanding its membership to include probate/guardianship and all civil practice areas. Interested attorneys, mental health professionals, and financial professionals are invited to join us at 12:00 pm on Tuesday, August 26 at Luby's Cafeteria located at 2440 S. Interstate 35 E. in Denton to discuss this expansion and learn more about collaborative law. Click here for more information.

The difference between a court divorce and a Collaborative process divorce lies not only in the outcome, but in what happens along the way.

Denton County Collaborative Professionals

Denton County Collaborative Professionals is a group of independent, unaffiliated professionals with a wealth of experience. We’ve represented thousands of clients in divorces, custody disputes, and other family law matters. Too often we’ve witnessed the expense, anguish, and frustration that result from trying to resolve family problems in a court of law.

What is The Collaborative Process?

The Collaborative Process is a form of dispute resolution which removes the “win at all costs” approach to divorce. In this process, parties and their attorneys contractually agree at the outset to settle their disputes without going to court. Spouses avoid lengthy—and costly—“discovery” by agreeing to disclose and exchange all information required to make sensible and fair decisions. Potential result: a less expensive, less emotionally destructive, and more dignified divorce for more families.

When divorcing spouses enter into the The Collaborative Process, they agree to:

• Communicate honestly
• Focus on important issues
• Protect the children
• Discuss divorce issues only in a conference setting
• Arrive at a final settlement out of court

Why Denton County Collaborative Professionals?

Each professional in this group is known to the others as a practitioner of skill and trustworthiness who will honor promises to negotiate in good faith and with full disclosure. The Collaborative Process is not for everyone, and there is no guarantee of success, but it just might be that “better way” for you and your family.
