Taking A Collaborative Approach To Resolving Indiana Family Law Disputes
Not every divorce has to be contentious. When circumstances and the attitudes of the spouses allow it, our lawyers prefer to take a collaborative approach. By identifying areas of agreement and disagreement with your spouse, it may be possible to identify workable solutions that satisfy the needs of both parties without involving the court.
Additionally, many courts require that the parties complete mediation, which is an out-of-court forum for the parties to resolve their disputes related to custody, parenting time, child support, adoptions and property division. Many parties prefer to attend mediation to craft the best solutions for their families versus allowing a judge to make decisions on their behalf. Trapp Law, LLC, has experience in resolving many family law cases through mediation and negotiation.
Hiring a lawyer doesn’t have to be an antagonistic move. Often, hiring a lawyer can be the best way to come to a peaceful understanding. The lawyer’s goal is to mitigate damage on your behalf, including damage to your whole family unit.
The Benefits Of Using An Indianapolis Family Law Attorney
In addition to providing guidance based on experience and utilizing an extensive knowledge of the laws governing families and divorce in Indiana, an attorney can also offer unbiased legal advice, negotiate on your behalf and fight for your rights in court if necessary.
An attorney can also help you understand the potential outcomes of your case and help you make informed decisions about how to proceed. If you are facing a complicated legal situation, an experienced family law attorney can be an invaluable asset.
