My ROAD to RESOLUTION
“My personal experience and frustration with the traditional divorce model inspired me to find an alternative, more holistic and non-adversarial approach to divorce. I created ROAD to RESOLUTION to provide a place where cooperation and collaboration are cultivated, and the best interest of the family remains the focus. My goal is to guide people, individually or as a couple, toward resolution.”

Frequently Asked Questions
ROAD to RESOLUTION is not your traditional divorce law firm. Below, we answer some frequently asked questions, but we encourage you to call to determine if Collaborative Law is the right approach for you.
Collaborative Family Law is a dispute resolution process in which divorcing or separating parties work together with their respective attorneys to reach a settlement outside of court. It emphasizes open communication, transparency, and a commitment to finding mutually agreeable solutions.
In Collaborative Family Law, the parties and their attorneys sign a participation agreement, committing to resolve the issues without resorting to court. Unlike traditional litigation, where a judge makes the final decisions, Collaborative Law empowers the parties involved to make their own agreements.
The primary participants in the Collaborative Process are the divorcing or separating parties and their respective Collaborative attorneys. Additionally, other professionals, such as financial specialists, mental health professionals, or child specialists, can serve as neutral third parties and may be involved to provide support.
The duration of the Collaborative Process depends on the complexity of the issues involved and the parties’ ability to reach agreements. It can take several months to a year or more, but it is generally faster than traditional litigation.
