Your Partners in Amicable Resolution
Jafari Law and Mediation Office is at the forefront of collaborative divorce services in Los Angeles and Orange County, CA. Drawing on over two decades of legal practice, our family-owned firm offers a holistic and dignified approach to resolving divorces without resorting to court litigation.
What is Collaborative Divorce?
Collaborative divorce is a non-adversarial legal process that enables couples to dissolve their marriage with mutual respect and cooperation. It involves a team approach where each party has dedicated collaborative lawyers, and often includes neutral financial specialists, child psychologists, and counselors, all working together to achieve a comprehensive settlement.
Expanding Beyond Divorce: Before, During, and After Marriage
Our collaborative law services extend to various Marriage and Divorce law matters, ensuring a consistent and amicable approach to:
- Collaborative Spousal Support: We facilitate fair and sustainable agreements on spousal maintenance, considering both parties’ financial stability and future well-being.
- Collaborative Property Division: Our approach to property division respects both parties’ contributions and seeks equitable solutions while preserving family assets.
- Collaborative Prenuptial Agreements: For couples planning to marry, we provide a collaborative setting to discuss and draft prenuptial agreements that protect individual interests and foster a strong foundation for the marriage.
- Collaborative Postnuptial Agreements: We assist couples already married in creating postnuptial agreements to address changes in their relationship or financial situation, reinforcing trust and providing clarity for the future.
The Collaborative Process: A Pathway to Respectful Resolution
The collaborative process is characterized by open communication and a shared commitment to respect and fairness. It offers several key benefits:
- Privacy: The process is confidential, safeguarding your family’s privacy.
- Voluntary Participation: Both parties retain control over decisions and outcomes, unlike in court-imposed judgments.
- Constructive Communication: Encourages a problem-solving dialogue, which is essential for co-parenting and future interactions.
- Resource Efficiency: Often more time and cost-effective compared to traditional divorce litigation.
