Westchester Collaborative Divorce Lawyers
Serving White Plains, New Rochelle and all of Westchester County
Collaborative divorce is a non-adversarial and private practice of resolving the various issues that accompany divorce, such as property distribution, support, custody, and visitation. Unlike traditional litigation, the parties work together with the help of their own Westchester collaborative lawyers to achieve a fair settlement that is beneficial to both. In confronting these issues, the parties may enlist the help of experts, such as financial specialists, divorce coaches, and child specialists. However, these specialists are neutral, their purpose being to explore the issues rather than to help one party over the other.
Collaborative divorce takes place in an informal and private setting, allowing the parties to candidly confront their issues without the burden of procedure and formalism or the possibility of public disclosure. Attorneys are present to advise each party, but the parties themselves steer the conversation. Unlike an adversarial court proceeding where each tries to outdo the other to secure a favorable decision from a judge, attorneys in a collaborative divorce facilitate the conversation and help the parties identify and focus upon the issues most important to them.
As a Westchester collaborative divorce lawyer, Katherine Eisold Miller focuses her practice on this innovative and pragmatic approach to divorce. She is a leader in this field, teaching numerous classes on the art of being an effective Westchester collaborative family law attorney.
Applying collaborative principles to a multitude of disputes
Collaborative principles can apply equally to other sensitive types of disputes as well. In addition to her practice as a Westchester collaborative divorce attorney, Katherine Eisold Miller applies the same principles of collaboration to business and family disputes. Collaborative dispute resolution serves as a constructive alternative to the destructive process of litigation, and can help preserve family and business relationships.
The collaborative process requires all parties involved to voluntarily agree to work together in good faith. This includes committing to truthfully disclose all information and records relevant to the conflict as well as guaranteeing strict confidentiality for everything said during collaboration. The parties share the expenses of collaboration in the hope of achieving a mutually beneficial and equitable settlement.
