The Benefits of Collaborative Law in Fairfax County

When faced with multiple disagreements in your family law matter, it is easy to focus on the conflict itself rather than the issues at hand. That lack of focus can cause additional tension and stress that is likely to spill over into most aspects of your life, delaying the matter unnecessarily. At Nicole M. Burns, Attorney at Law, we can help you pursue different options to resolve your family issue.

Litigation

If your case is complex or involves a high degree of conflict, going to court may be the better way to resolve your issues. By going to trial, you are giving up your control over how the matter is resolved and placing that control in the hands of a judge. Regardless of how well we present your case, the judge only gets that brief glimpse into your situation. Like it or not, you need to follow the court's ruling. Those are not the only considerations with litigation.

Arguing about the terms of your divorce, child custody, and other disputes can significantly upset your children. No matter how strained your relationship with your ex is, you must continue to work together to raise them. After an intense court battle, being effective co-parents is extremely challenging.

Collaborative Law

As a certified collaborative law attorney, Nicole Burns can help you find ways to reach common ground and mutually agreeable terms without unnecessary strife. This approach uses negotiations to help you move forward, and our firm will take measures to look after your best interests.

Mediation

Mediation is another option that, like collaborative law methods, allows you to retain more control over the outcome and typically takes less time and costs less than litigation. A neutral third-party mediator will work with you and your spouse to reach an acceptable compromise.
