Productive Negotiation

The Value of Negotiation in Divorce Settlements

The traditional legal process of divorce is often called “litigation”, but in reality, almost all divorces are resolved through negotiation. In fact, 98% of all cases settle – it is usually a question of how and when and after what level of conflict and cost settlement is reached. Experienced and ethical attorneys know that by being proactive and problem-solving most issues can be resolved by settlement, but this requires skill and creativity. If you and your spouse are both represented by attorneys and are able to reach a full settlement, you and the attorneys can request a Divorce by Affidavit, where you could obtain a final judgment of divorce without the need for any Court appearance. Contact us today if you are interested in exploring this option and its requirements.

How Productive Negotiation Works

Productive Negotiation brings a couple and their attorneys together to provide legal advice, discuss the perspectives of their clients, and then look at a broad spectrum of options to settle issues without the pressure and cost of adversarial court hearings.  By being proactive and productive, negotiation occurs in conference rooms rather than courtrooms and without the time constraints and expense of the court system.

The family law attorneys at Hansen and Hildebrand have the experience to know the reasonable parameters of settlement and help clients find satisfying and sustainable settlements to meet their goals and avoid future returns to court.
