We know that divorce is financially and emotionally stressful, and can make you feel like life is spinning out of control. SAGE LEGAL GROUP is dedicated to supporting our clients in a collaborative divorce process so they can be active decision-makers in the decisions that will shape their future. Our goal is to set you and your family up for success after the divorce.

Collaborative divorce requires trust and cooperation between the parties and their attorneys. This means committing to reach a fair settlement outside of the court process. Collaborative divorce gives both parties control over what is decided because there is no court involved making orders that affect your future. The parties meet with their collaborative divorce lawyers in a series of joint meetings, and all negotiations take place with the clients present. The parties may agree to utilize other professionals, including client coaches, child specialists, and financial neutrals. These professionals are mutually chosen to provide input and educate the couple so they can make informed decisions. The clients are involved every step of the way.

In divorce mediation, the couple agrees to problem-solve together using a neutral mediator. The goal is to find creative solutions that work for everyone. It is often more cost-efficient and less time-consuming than a traditional divorce. SAGE LEGAL GROUP can help you and your spouse achieve an amicable outcome using divorce mediation.

As a neutral mediator, we will guide you and your spouse through each issue, including child custody and placement, property division, and support. We work to help you and your spouse communicate effectively, so that you can reach agreements on otherwise difficult issues. Divorce mediation gives both parties control over what is decided because there is no court involved making orders that affect your future. As your neutral mediator, our goal is to provide education for informed decision-making and a neutral space in which both clients have the opportunity to provide their input into the negotiations.
