Collaborative family law is an innovative process that focuses on creating settlements that work for all involved. It takes discussions of intimate issues out of a public courtroom and into the private offices of attorneys and other professionals.
But is this process right for you? The Collaborative Law Institute of Texas suggests that you should consider collaborative family law if some of the following statements are true:
| I thought I would share the following message I received from the Partners for Life Police Appreciation Run. I completed the 10K, which followed the waterfront and downtown streets of Saint Petersburg and was held in memory of fallen police officers Jeff Yaslowitz, Tom Baitinger, and Dave Crawford. | ||||

In the video below, collaborative divorce is discussed on NBC’s Today Show. A couple and their attorneys delve into the benefits and process of this innovative type of family law practice:
As alluded to above, collaborative divorce is a team-centric model. It is ideal for cases in which children are involved, as the collaborative team focuses on finding ways to maintain civility and a modicum of normality in difficult times. Clients are in control of the process, as it is outside of the court system and that institution’s often-times rigid schedules and procedures. Further, privacy is maintained because discussions are confidential and held within private offices rather than in open court.

Mediators cannot give legal advice to spouses. Sometimes (but rarely in Texas) clients will go to mediation without lawyers. This will work in simple cases, but not in complex cases where parties need advice about their legal rights. |

On May 15, 2011, I participated in the Inaugural Police Appreciation Run. This event, which was dedicated to officers who had fallen in the line of duty this past winter, started from North Straub Park in St. Petersburg, Florida, and continued along the waterfront and throughout the downtown area. I completed the 10K in around 1 hour and 13 minutes, which is officially the longest and farthest I have ever run without stopping or walking.
The following is a report from ABC Action News, one of the sponsors of the event, which discusses the race and Officer Jeff Yaslowitz, Sergeant Tom Baitinger, and Officer Dave Crawford:
