A NEW APPROACH — COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE
Years ago, after litigating many contentious, bitter and acrimonious divorces in court, and seeing the emotional and financial devastation to families, Tim Fleming decided that there had to be a better way for families to end a relationship in a dignified, civil manner. As a result, Tim Fleming joined a national movement of collaborative divorce lawyers and became certified himself.
Collaborative divorce is a process handled by two certified collaborative lawyers who work collaboratively in four-way meetings with the two divorcing parties, who contractually agree to keep their private matters and the dissolution of their marriage relationship out of court. The result is often times a much quicker resolution, less expense, and most certainly, a more amicable, dignified way to end a marriage. These principles can also be applied to all types of family issues, from divorce to custody, and property division and alimony issues.
Regardless if you proceed through a divorce that is litigated in court or handled through the collaborative process, Fleming Law Offices has almost 30 years of legal experience resolving these types of cases.

Couples who are unable to agree on issues when divorcing are subjected to the judge's decisions — a person who has little or no knowledge about your personal circumstances. Although this will resolve divorce or custody disputes, important decisions are made by someone with little or no in-depth knowledge of the family.
If your case is handled in a collaborative law setting, certified collaborative divorce attorney Tim Fleming can work with you and your spouse to facilitate meetings that result in mutually beneficial decisions regarding the immediate and future needs of your family.
