Traditional Divorce
Before you start to get a divorce, consider the benefits collaborative law could have for you. Collaborative law provides a wonderful alternative to traditional divorce law proceedings in court, particularly for families who want to foster continuing relationships. When you sit down and work together, you can minimize the negative effects a divorce can have on your children, grandchildren, and friends.
Traditional divorce law often focuses on what did not work in a relationship and gives attorneys and judges the power to make important decisions for you and your family. You know more about what your family needs and what solutions will work than the court does. As opposed to traditional divorce law, collaborative law keeps you in control.
Over the years, lawyer Christopher M. Craig has witnessed the benefits of collaborative law over and over again. Our firm has helped couples come to fair, lasting decisions about custody, child support, spousal support, and property division. In an environment of cooperation and respect, couples can resolve important issues without the court. They make these decisions legally binding through separation agreements.
At Craig Associates, P.C., located in Asheville and Greensboro, North Carolina, we practice primarily in the area of collaborative law and mediation. While we understand the value of divorce litigation for the most extreme cases, and will recommend that process to you if it’s appropriate, we strive to work with spouses who want to work through the collaborative law process. Contact attorney Christopher M. Craig to learn more.
Non-Marital Family Separation
You have important issues to resolve at the end of your relationship, even if you have not been legally married. This process can be just as contentious as a martial separation. Unfortunately, the court system does not provide a way for unmarried couples and domestic partners to resolve many of these issues. At Craig Associates, P.C., we guide unmarried couples through the process of separation by using the collaborative law process to resolve all major issues out of court.
Collaborative law provides a viable, healthy alternative to traditional divorce law. If you want to take control of your divorce, contact an attorney at Craig Associates, P.C. We assist people throughout North Carolina, including those in Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, and Cary.
