Many clients favor a problem-solving model over litigation; in matrimonial matters, a cooperative resolution of disputes is highly desirable. That’s why the lawyers at Jennings & Medura regularly recommend and practice a non-adversarial dispute resolution process known as collaborative law. This involves the parties and their attorneys executing a participation agreement, setting forth the participants’ willingness to act in good faith, stay out of court and voluntarily disclose all financial information. If a settlement cannot be reached between the parties involved, lawyers for each party withdraw and each party selects a new attorney.
