COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW IN FLORIDA

No matter how you look at it, divorce and family law matters are difficult to go through. Expectations of stability are shattered, mistrust grows, and bills pile up. And then the litigation begins. Attorneys file and serve petitions, counterpetitions, requests to produce, and motions to compel. Each party hires dueling mental health experts to convince a judge that he or she should have more time with the children. Privacy is eliminated as each party’s life is probed and publicly questioned so that one side may gain a tactical advantage.

But there is a different way. A more civilized way. And it is called Collaborative Family Law (also known as Collaborative Divorce or Collaborative Practice).

We are a Collaborative law firm dedicated to helping people resolve personal disputes without destroying their families. We encourage the use of the Collaborative Family Law model in divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, post-judgment, prenuptial, and most other family law cases.  Further, Adam B. Cordover is an internationally-recognized leader in Collaborative Practice, a trainer who teaches other professionals how to help families Collaboratively, and author of an upcoming American Bar Association book on Collaborative Law.

We understand that even under the best of circumstances, a Sarasota divorce (or divorce anywhere in Florida) is tough, and so we are humbled when our past clients have taken the time to let others know about their experience. Divorce can often feel like an uphill battle, filled with emotional and financial challenges that can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed. The following review was left by a family law client at the Google Page for our Sarasota Collaborative Family Law Office page, and it highlights not only their satisfaction but also the essential elements that make our firm a trusted choice in such a critical time:

Grateful for a Five-Star Client Review from Our Tampa Office

When you are going through divorce, especially one that involves emotional stress, finances, or the future of your family, the office and team you choose matters. We are honored to share a recent five-star review that a client who entrusted us with their Collaborative Divorce left on the Google Page for our Tampa Collaborative Family Law Office.

Their words reflect what we aim to provide every client: clarity, compassion, and a process that puts you back in control rather than placing your future in the hands of a judge.

St. Petersburg Divorce Lawyer Review: “[Sped] Up The Process…Eased the tension”

April 21, 2025/in Family Lawyer Reviews / Testimonials //Tags: child custody, dissolution of marriage, divorce, florida divorceby Adam

I recently received a review from a divorce client on our St. Petersburg Google Page.  Please note that every case and circumstance is different, and I can’t promise the same or similar results in your matter.

It was a blessing to partner with Adam and Jennifer to help navigate me through the divorce process. They both were responsive, thorough and professional throughout the highs and lows of the process.

I found Adam’s advice to be logical, [rational] and while he certainly represented and protected my interests, he was also considerate and mindful to my ex-wife which was important to me. I believe this certainly [sped] up the process and eased the tension/relationship with her throughout the proceedings. He also took also took an intense interest in the protection and wellbeing of my son.

I will always be grateful to Adam and his team.

Five Stars.

St. Petersburg Adult Adoption Lawyer Review

Adam and Jennifer were fantastic. I adopted a longtime friend to be a part of my family and with their help the whole process was very simple. Adam and Jennifer took care of everything right up to and now after the Final Judgement hearing. I would highly recommend Family Diplomacy as they are very through, professional and a pleasure to work with!

Sarasota Collaborative Divorce Review: Solid Legal Advice

March 17, 2024/in Family Lawyer Reviews / Testimonials, Collaborative Divorce //Tags: collaborative divorce, Collaborative Law, divorceby Adam

Most people going through divorce are not looking to make an enemy out of their spouse.  Rather, they are seeking to move on with their lives and make sure that they — and their kids, if any — are okay at the end of the day.  That is why we specialize in Collaborative Divorce, a private and more humane way to resolve family disputes.

We at Family Diplomacy are grateful to our clients and proud of the work we do on LGBTQ matters.

A client graciously left a glowing review on Google, which you can find below and at this link.

Truly a pleasure working with the entire team at Family Diplomacy. Adam and Britney were fantastic through the entire process. Professional and personal at the same time. Communication was on point. From the very first phone conversation, there was a great comfort level, which is hard to find, especially when dealing with LGBTQ matters. Huge thank you to Family Diplomacy, I would recommend them a million times over!
