How do you want to handle your challenge?

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love, 1963.

I believe people are good. I believe people, if they are reminded of who they want to be, will choose to handle their divorce in a manner that would preserve their dignity, and respect for themselves and their spouse. I also believe most people love their children enough to find it in themselves to take the high road and preserve their children from the blood bath that is traditional divorce litigation.

Choosing not to engage in a tedious, expensive, and oftentimes pointless family law litigation is very, very difficult, especially when your children, home, money and identity are at stake. It's the knee-jerk reaction of our modern society. It seems that war is all we know.

However, if reminded of who we wish to be and who we absolutely can be, most will take on the task of collaborative law. There are options now. Which one will you choose?
