Virginia Collaborative Law Lawyer

Family Law Firm Dedicated to Dignity and Respect

At the Richmond family law firm of Jennings and Jennings, Attorneys at Law, we do not believe that all divorces must end in a lengthy battle inside of a courtroom. Instead, we believe that there is a more dignified, respectful process that can benefit numerous couples who are seeking to end their marriages. This process is called collaborative law.

In the collaborative law process, you agree to work with your spouse and your lawyers in a positive environment. Your goal is to come to an agreement on all issues in your divorce. If at any point in time you feel the collaborative process is not working for you, you can opt out and seek another method of resolution.

Helping You Understand the Benefits of the Collaborative Process

Attorney Deborah O. Jennings has been trained in the collaborative law process and is available to assist individuals who are looking for a more friendly way to finalize their divorces. When you meet with attorney Jennings for the first time, she will explain to you how the process works and what benefits are included, such as:

• Less time-consuming than traditional litigation
• Potential reduction in expenses
• Occurs in a private setting
• More control over the process and the discussion
• Greater ability to craft a creative resolution without the input of a judge
• Higher likelihood of creating an agreement that stands the test of time

In addition to these benefits, the collaborative law process can also involve the use of experts from a variety of areas to help create a mutually agreeable property settlement agreement. These experts can include accountants, life planners, psychologists and child experts. The goal of working with such experts is to ensure that your agreement is comprehensive and that it considers your current and future needs.

At the end of the collaborative law process, you will have worked in a collaborative environment with your spouse that will help to lay the foundation for a better relationship in the future, which will greatly benefit your children.
