St. Louis Park, Minnesota, Divorce Attorney
No Fancy Law Office, Just Solid Legal Advice
If you have reached the conclusion that your marriage must end, talk to a Minnesota lawyer who will have your best interests in mind. Many clients of Stephen M.Goldfarb Law Office, P.A., have found favorable resolutions to their divorce and child custody dispute situations through collaborative law methods.
The collaborative approach to dissolution of marriage in Minnesota or in any other state offers many benefits to divorcing couples and their children. Many people find it to be cost-effective both in dollar terms and in the amount of time and effort required to satisfactorily conclude divorce proceedings on their own terms.
It is not for everyone, however. In high-conflict circumstances where one spouse is uncooperative or his or her lawyer is biased toward litigation, it may be necessary to take a divorce to trial. It is important to realize, however, that court is not the answer in many cases. Even though a divorce begins with discord between the spouses, a broken relationship can easily dissolve into bitter, vindictive, raw hatred when a contentious divorce goes to court. Neither husband nor wife is likely to emerge as a "winner." Mutual parental ties may be embittered to such an extent that it becomes ever more difficult to put children's interests first.
But when collaborative law works, it offers individuals the opportunity to control their own divorce process. It offers husband and wife a practical method by which to keep more of the assets of the marriage through cooperative discussions. For example, there may be tax advantages in particular property division agreements that reasonable negotiations in a collaborative manner will bring to light.
And when there are minor children, collaborative law methods can set a more positive tone for future courteous communication between parents who will share parenting time and family bonds centered on children and future grandchildren.
