Carmel Mediation and Collaborative Divorce Attorney

Viable Alternatives to Traditional Divorce Methods

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution, which allows a couple to amicably go their separate ways. Divorce doesn't have to be emotionally or financially draining, and mediation proves that. Over the years, we, the skilled legal team of Carmel divorce attorneys at HOLLINGSWORTH ROBERTS MEANS, have noticed an upward trend for divorcing couples to choose mediation as a way to settle their divorce. We encourage couples to explore this option first before resorting to costly and stressful court battles, which can be draining on children as well as family members.

Drawing from our vast experience managing high-conflict family issues, we are equipped to provide effective representation in complex matters.

Our Carmel family lawyers are highly regarded in the legal community, earning recognitions that include:

• Super Lawyers®
• Super Lawyers® Rising Stars℠
• The Honorable Viola J. Taliaferro Award
• Indianapolis' Forty Under 40
• Colts Community Quarterback Award
• Indy's Best & Brightest

Collaborative Law: Enabling More Peaceful Divorce Negotiations

A collaborative divorce is an excellent option for two individuals who are ready to end a marriage, but want to do so in as peaceful a manner as possible. Through thoughtful negotiations, both spouses can reach an agreement that is mutually beneficial, without the added stressor of the presence of a judge or divorce court. During a collaborative divorce, your attorney is responsible for facilitating negotiations, ensuring that all legal requirements are met as assets are divided, child custody is negotiated, and spousal support terms are set.

What are the benefits of working with a collaborative law attorney?

• Settling your divorce without the stress and expense of court
• Maintaining a level of mutual respect between all parties
• Higher level of protection for any children involved
• Personally negotiate settlements, increasing the likelihood that the final agreement will be mutually beneficial
• Gentle direction by your attorney for each settlement meeting, increasing productivity
