Collaborative Divorce

Corsicana Collaborative Divorce Lawyers

How Does a Collaborative Divorce Work in Texas?

Collaborative divorce is also called collaborative law, which is defined as a method of alternative dispute resolution where all parties agree to resolve their disagreements without going to court. Each person hires their own attorney, and everyone works together in a series of meetings to reach an agreement.

As a certified mediator, attorney Sarah Keathley plays a significant role in helping our Corsicana collaborative divorce clients. She guides her clients in reaching a sound and satisfactory resolution to their divorce disputes but does so in a way that is honest, comprehensive and unbiased.

Collaborative divorces in Corsicana typically follow this process:

  1. You must first hire a Corsicana collaborative divorce lawyer to provide the legal counsel and guidance you need to negotiate a settlement agreement
  2. You will meet with your collaborative divorce attorney separately to discuss the facts of your divorce and overall goals
  3. You and your lawyer will meet regularly with your spouse’s lawyer as well as professionals in child custody, accounting, mental health, etc. to best avoid going to court
  4. If an agreement still cannot be made, a mediator will step in and help guide you and your spouse into devising an agreement that satisfies both sides
  5. Once all disputes are resolved, you and your spouse will sign a “no court” agreement that requires your Corsicana collaborative divorce attorneys to withdraw from the case if you do end up taking your matters to court, meaning you must hire a new lawyer if that were to occur

    “One of the best if not the best Attorneys in Corsicana.”

    Steve Keathley is one of the best if not the best Attorneys in Corsicana. He will fight for you with his super expertise in law. Steve is a very caring Attorney and he is very understanding. Steve went above and beyond on a felony case for a loved one, he was facing 20 years in prison, Steve put his knowledge and expertise of the law and he fought hard for my loved one and got him 8 years probation. I highly recommend Steve Keathley if you want an Attorney to fight for you. Having Steve work your case, be rest assured that you or a loved one is in good hands.
