COLLABORATIVE FAMILY LAW

In addition to providing traditional legal representation for clients, Ms. McKinley is available to represent clients who choose to resolve their family disputes using the process of collaborative law. Ms. McKinley has been an active member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals since 2004, and is a past president of the Collaborative Family Lawyers of Central New York.

 

Collaborative law is an alternative method for resolving divorce and family law issues. In collaborative law, the parties and their collaborative attorneys agree to resolve their differences without going to court. Together, the parties and their collaborative lawyers attend a series of meetings in which a mutually acceptable settlement is the only agenda. The collaborative process is designed lead to settlement with a minimum level of acrimony.
