If you think the collaborative family process is right for you, these are the steps to take:
- Talk with your spouse or partner and share the information from this website
- You and your spouse each choose a lawyer from the list of collaborative lawyers on this site
- You may each meet with more than one collaborative lawyer before making your selection
- Meet with your lawyer to discuss your case and the details of the collaborative law process in your situation
- Both spouses and both lawyers then sign the collaborative law Participation Agreement
- Once these steps have been taken the lawyers will arrange the first 4-way joint collaborative meeting
