Three Gals in a Car: 2022 Conference Takeaways

June 20, 2022 By CDTx Staff - tcgi

3 gals in a car

What a wonderful conference and one of the best parts was that we were all able to be face-to face with our lovely colleagues. The 2022 TexasBarCLE Collaborative Law: From Bush League to Big League conference was filled with exceptional presentations, fun activities, and gifted professionals. While driving back to Austin, the three of us thought it would be insightful to discuss the key takeaways we each had.

How Fast Does a Collaborative Divorce Move?

October 31, 2017 By CDTx Staff - tcgi Leave a Comment

Collaborative Divorce

One question that comes up about collaborative law is, "How quickly can we reach a divorce?" As we were reminded, looking at an article on the subject from Fort Worth-based collaborative lawyer Dick Price's excellent blog, it's usually faster than litigation, but it might not be the get-divorced-quick solution some people want. Both Parties Must be Willing to Work Together He notes that while collaborative law follows a road map that moves couples through divorce efficiently, it's also a … [Read more...]

Advocating for Children in the Collaborative Process

October 17, 2017 By CDTx Staff - tcgi Leave a Comment

Advocating for Children

The Texas Family Code provides lawyers with many tools when it comes to advocating for children in family law cases, including a neutral mental health professional, child specialist, and child therapist. These are all professional roles unique to collaborative law cases. What are the different ways mental health professionals might be used in a collaborative case? There are three roles that a mental health professional can take on to help bring a collaborative case to settlement, and they’re … [Read more...]

Integrating Mediation into the Collaborative Divorce Model

October 10, 2017 By CDTx Staff - tcgi Leave a Comment

Mediation

Collaborative Divorce is an innovative option of dispute resolution for divorcing couples, built upon a highly specific road map for negotiation.  The parties’ goals and interests are the centerpiece of this road map, around which clients provide and review all relevant information then, with the support of their attorney and allied professional team members, creatively seek options for resolution of each issue.  While this structured design focuses on self determination, it also allows for … [Read more...]

Alternative Method of Divorce: Collaborative Law

October 5, 2017 By CDTx Staff - tcgi Leave a Comment

Collaborative Law easy divorce

The words graceful, healthy and divorce do not go together. The first words clients use to describe the process of divorce are typically words of war: FIGHT, CUSTODY BATTLE, and WINNING. I would like to present a concept to you that is a kinder, gentler way to get divorced.  Collaborative Law. While we have the early adapters of technology, it is sometimes hard to find the early adapters of new legal processes. Collaborative law started in Texas in 2001 as a movement away from the damage … [Read more...]

What to Remember When Divorcing with Children

September 30, 2015 By CDTx Staff - tcgi Leave a Comment

Divorce can be emotionally challenging when it involves just a couple -- but when that couple has children, it can be even more emotionally taxing for every family member. With that in mind, Collaborative Law Institute of Texas President-Elect Camille Milner posted a recent, excellent article on her blog covering the 10 things to remember when divorcing with children. One of the first rules she gives -- echoed by a therapist writing for the Denton County Collaborative Professionals blog she … [Read more...]

When a Divorce Decree Isn’t Quite Final

September 28, 2015 By CDTx Staff - tcgi Leave a Comment

An interesting article from Esther Donald at Dallas-based family law firm GoransonBain caught our attention recently. Titled, "The Final Divorce Decree Is Not Etched In Stone," it looked at what happens when divorced couples face unexpected situations that make it difficult if not impossible to carry out what the divorce decree says they should do. The most obvious example is when a non-custodial parent endures some sort of financial hardship and is unable to pay child support, but that's far … [Read more...]

When Emotion Overwhelms Reason (and How to Counter It In Divorce Negotiations)

September 9, 2015 By CDTx Staff - tcgi Leave a Comment

This article is from Kevin Fuller, founder of Dallas-based Fuller Mediations, a firm that provides a range of mediation services to settle divorces and other disputes, and a former president of the Collaborative Law Institute of Texas. I’ve been involved enough with divorce negotiations to see this more than once: I bring a solid settlement offer to a client, in which we’ve been able to work out a parenting plan and a financial settlement that meets the client’s needs. And yet, it’s rejected, … [Read more...]
