Welcome to Washington Divorce Services where we specialize in helping people transition through divorce peacefully and respectfully.
| A new way to think about divorce |
| Divorce is not a single event, it is a process. Ending a marriage involves a transition from being part of a couple to being single, sometimes a single parent with children. Our goal in divorce is to help clients begin as part of a couple and end as a single person and still feel whole. Divorce is an evolution that includes many parts: legal, physical, emotional and financial. In order to successfully traverse this perilous path, clients must have knowledgeable, experienced and caring advisers who will guide them through the process.
Divorce does not have to be destructive. It can be heart-wrenching to undo a marriage relationship, but it does not have to be soul-killing. Our staff members have the necessary experience and dedication to providing unmatched service to guide clients to successful resolutions that save money, time and heartache. Collaborative Divorce. Increasingly, people are seeking less expensive and more effective out-of-court divorce solutions better tailored to their lives and goals. They recognize that the traditional litigation model of divorce does not suit all situations nor yield them the results they want, control over their own futures. Fortunately, divorcing couples now have an alternative process, known as collaborative law, through which they can retain control over their futures while also avoiding expensive litigation. In Collaborative Divorce, the parties and their attorneys commit, in writing, not to litigate their dispute but to negotiate together in good faith to reach a durable resolution. What is a durable resolution? It is one that will stand through the remainder of the parties’ lives and interactions with each other, whether involving children and parenting, retirement planning, division of assets and debts or financial support. Research shows that collaboratively reached agreements seldom result in future disputes and litigation. Using a collaborative divorce process, the parties control all facets of the outcome of their divorce instead of turning the decision-making over to a judge. The parties and their attorneys work together using creative problem-solving strategies in a series of joint meetings to reach the best possible resolution for everyone. Litigation is truly the last resort. |
