Collaborative divorce is a private, out-of-court process where each spouse works with their own collaboratively trained lawyer. Everyone meets together to identify priorities, solve problems, and create agreements that support the family’s future. We specialize in this type of divorce negotiation.

A mediation is a facilitated negotiation with the help of a neutral mediator. We represent clients before, during, and after mediation, helping them prepare, understand their options, evaluate proposals, and negotiate with clarity and confidence.

Sometimes the first step is simply understanding what your options are. In a consultation, we help clients think through possible paths — including collaborative divorce, mediation, negotiation, or court — so they can make informed decisions about what comes next.

Some divorces do require court involvement. In these cases, one spouse files a complaint, the other spouse responds, and unresolved issues are ultimately decided by a judge. Vasher Collaborative Family Law is focused on out-of-court solutions but can help clients understand when another process or referral may be appropriate.
