My Role as Your Collaborative Attorney

At Tailored Family Law, we understand that divorce is not just a legal process but an emotional and life-changing transition. As your collaborative attorney, my role is to guide you through this process in a way that is constructive, respectful, and focused on finding solutions that meet the needs of both you and your spouse. Here’s what you can expect when working with me in the collaborative process in King and Pierce counties:

Acting as a Neutral Facilitator

Unlike in litigation, my role in the collaborative process is not to advocate solely for your interests in an adversarial way. Instead, I serve as a neutral facilitator, helping both parties work together to identify, articulate, and address their needs. This means creating a safe and respectful environment where both you and your spouse feel comfortable expressing your concerns and desires.

Understanding the Deeper Motivations

One of the keys to a successful collaborative divorce is uncovering the deeper motivations behind your stated goals. Throughout our work together, I will ask thoughtful and probing questions to help you explore what is truly driving your concerns and priorities. By understanding the long-term objectives underlying your desires, we can develop solutions that go beyond short-term fixes and truly align with your values and future aspirations.

Encouraging Open Communication

In collaborative law, open communication is essential. I will support you in expressing your needs clearly and effectively while also encouraging you to listen to your spouse’s perspectives. This mutual exchange of ideas and concerns fosters understanding and helps create solutions that both parties can agree on. My role is to ensure that this dialogue remains productive and focused on finding common ground.

Fostering Respect and Understanding

Divorce can be an emotional process, but the collaborative approach emphasizes respect and understanding. I will help you navigate challenging conversations and emotional moments with compassion and composure. By fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect, we can reduce conflict and create an environment where both parties feel heard and valued.

Working Towards Mutually Beneficial Solutions

The ultimate goal of the collaborative process is to reach agreements that work for both you and your spouse. I will guide you in exploring creative and customized solutions that address your shared concerns and priorities. Whether it’s financial arrangements, parenting plans, or property division, we will work together to craft resolutions that meet both your immediate and long-term needs.

Empowering You to Take Control in King and Pierce Counties

One of the most empowering aspects of collaborative divorce is that you and your spouse retain control over the outcome. Unlike litigation, where decisions are made by a judge, the collaborative process puts the decision-making power in your hands. My role is to provide legal guidance and support, ensuring that you have the tools and information needed to make informed decisions that align with your goals.

At Tailored Family Law, we are committed to helping you navigate divorce with dignity, compassion, and a focus on the future. As your collaborative attorney practicing in King and Pierce counties, my goal is to empower you to approach this transition with confidence and to create solutions that lay the foundation for a positive new chapter in your life.
