When a couple first begins discussing the possibility of separation, divorce, or a custody dispute, the first question they must answer is: what process do we want to use to reach a final resolution of our disputes? Rather than choosing divorce litigation, separating and divorcing couples are choosing to take charge of the process through alternative conflict resolution. Batchelder Law & Mediation in Towson offers these alternatives to court intervention to my clients: mediation, collaborative law representation, or lawyer negotiated settlements. At an initial consultation, we can assist a potential client in determining which alternative is best for the client’s particular situation. Choosing an alternative process allows the parties and children involved to maintain positive relationships, preserves a larger share of the family’s assets, and gives the family control over its own future. The clients work within the alternative process to reach their own goals and interests, rather than handing over control to the court. The family resolves their personal issues in a private setting rather than in a public courtroom. Also, the family is spending reduced attorney's fees on a process that is within their control and focuses on amicable resolution rather than spending excessive funds on hostile and adversarial battles which often result in long-lasting emotional and financial damage. If you are living in Towson or the greater Baltimore area and you think there is a possibility for an amicable solution to your divorce, please contact us at 410-357-1422. We look forward to working with you to find a divorce process that works best for you and your family.
