Garage Sale Litigation

A few weeks ago, we highlighted one of our favorite Collaborative Law Institute of Texas blog writers, Dick Price. There’s another excellent blog writer in our community — Dallas-based collaborative consultant, parent facilitator and mental health professional Brenda Lee Roberts, who wrote a particularly insightful article.

The article, “Garage Sale Litigation,” looks at a garage sale in Highland Park, featured in a recent edition of D Magazine, with a memorable visual (of a cushionless couch) that tells much about divorce and how difficult the traditional courtroom divorce process can be. It also shows how collaborative law provides a helpful alternative to those looking to end their marriages with more dignity and respect than what she terms a “garage sale approach” to settlement.
