Negotiated Settlement
While not always on the same page, many clients can negotiate amicably with the other party to reach a settlement.
Negotiating a settlement is one of the most common methods of resolving family law issues. Very often, the parties are able to work together to reach a solution. This might entail trading emails or letters between each other or between your attorneys or having a meeting with both you and your attorneys in a conference room, where all four of you sit down and settle the case. A negotiated settlement may also entail legally memorializing the appropriate settlement documents an agreement that you and your spouse or partner reached on your own, while sitting at the “kitchen table.” Depending on your circumstances, Ms. Setzer can help you negotiate and finalize your settlement agreement and the appropriate paperwork.
