The Collaborative Method
Sometimes it takes a team working for everyone’s benefit to reach a settlement; especially if the issues are complex and emotions are running high.
The Collaborative process is inherently designed to preserve relationships and solve complex family law issues without going to court. It is a “team” approach where a financial neutral expert, an attorney for each party and a coach for each party provides information and support throughout the process. However, the composition of the “team” is ultimately determined by the parties and their needs. For example, real estate experts, child specialists or business valuation experts can be added to the team.
Ms. Setzer has been Collaboratively trained and has helped clients reach fair agreements using this team approach, since 2013. She has worked with other professionals with in the Collaborative community throughout California and the United States.
