Our attorneys practice family law in many capacities. Each lawyer is trained in litigation, collaboration, negotiation and all aspects of alternative dispute resolution. Each client must decide, with counsel’s input, which process will best serve their needs, given their individual circumstances. Family law includes divorce, dissolution, custody, child support, spousal support, property division, retirement division, unmarried parents, paternity, grandparents’ rights, LGBT issues and many other matters.
In our practice, we do everything in our power to assist the client in coming to a negotiated settlement. One approach to arriving at a settlement is within a collaborative law context. This is where both parties agree to use a collaborative model, rather than an adversarial model, and agree to keep their case out of the court system. Beth was a founding member of the Cincinnati Academy of Collaborative Professionals. All of our lawyers have been trained in collaborative law.
