However you come to an agreement, you need the best solution for your child and yourself.
There is the perfect world and there is the world we live in. In a perfect world when you are separating from a partner there would be consensual agreement about the division of properly, child custody, parenting plans and child support.
Of course, if this was a perfect world you wouldn’t be separating. Most Vancouver, WA family attorneys know that there will be at least some conflict about something. At Lambert Law we work hard to resolve as many of the issues as possible. One way that does help parties come to agreements is within the collaboration that comes from the Uniform Collaborative Law Act. (UCLA)
The State of Washington has enacted UCLA. The Collaborative Law process is designed to help parties work together to reach agreements. The involved parties are the decision makers while professionals provide information to make decision. In many cases collaborative law is successful in helping parties reach consensual agreements.
These discussions are different than arbitration. Arbitration is designed to obtain a decision from an outside person–the arbitrator. The arbitrator decides on an outcome based on his or her assessment. Arbitrators are used when two parties cannot agree.
Family lawyers have a different role when working with a couple in arbitration vs. Collaborative Law.
Vancouver, WA divorce attorneys support their clients as the group works toward a mutually acceptable agreement in Collaborative Law. When Vancouver, WA family lawyers are involved in arbitration, their goal is to get evidence to persuade the arbitrator to make a specific decision.
