What happens if the process breaks down?
Sometimes one person may refuse to work toward a win/win agreement. If that happens I cannot be your adversarial lawyer in court. The strength of either process is a focus on creative problem-solving that will result in a fair and reasonable solution for all concerned. And, in either Collaborative Practice or Mediation, we have the option to enlist additional professionals. These may include a professionals who serve as coaches — a financial specialist a mental health professional or a child specialist. Other experts can also be used in the Mediation process: business evaluators, appraisers or certified public accountants – with the cost shared by the couple. These professionals can be very effective in breaking an impasse if it should occur.
