NSW Finding a Collaborative Family Lawyer

[jacob]

I urgently need advice on how to find a family lawyer who does collaborative law and what does this mean I have to do. I have been told to find one to sort out my family law situation. Thanks

Hi Jacob,
I assume that you are working through a separation/divorce with your former partner and are attempting to resolve the process without going to court.
From the Family Court of Australia's website, "Collaborative law uses an interest-based negotiation model where clients and their lawyers work together to resolve a dispute without going to court. The aim is to reach a fair agreement while minimising costs, delays and stress."

You can find collaborative lawyers near you via:

• NSW - Collaborative Professionals NSW (The Law Society of NSW also has an informative section on Collaborative Law)

Hope this helps!
