Collaborative Law

Meaningful Collaborative Law Solutions to Your Problems

Collaborative Practice | Resolving Disputes RespectfullyImagine going through a divorce with the result that neither you nor your spouse harbors bitter feelings towards each other. If either you or your spouse is an Idaho resident contemplating divorce and is seeking an alternative to the often tense, expensive, and adversarial approach inherent in litigation, you may wish to consider the use of collaborative law.

When a couple decides to approach their divorce using the collaborative law method, the benefits are enormous. The overall cost of the divorce is substantially reduced, the lingering acrimony that accompanies so many traditionally litigated divorces can be avoided altogether, and for families that have children, the scars of divorce can be minimized.

Collaborative Law, a form of alternative dispute resolution, is a process whereby both spouses and their collaboratively trained attorneys agree to proceed in a non-litigious fashion by entering into a series of controlled negotiation sessions. While the process is not conflict-free, our experienced family law attorney Joanne M. Kibodeaux is trained to manage the conflict and assist clients in crafting meaningful resolutions. This approach requires creativity and "out-of-the-box" thinking to resolve issues for each particular family. The goal is to have a consensus-based settlement that will truly dignify what you and your spouse shared together and help foster positive family feelings in the future.
