Collaborative divorce and cooperative law offer alternatives to traditional court processes in family law. Judges support these methods, which prioritize compromise and long-term well-being over immediate wins. Collaborative lawyering involves a shift in mindset for lawyers and clients, focusing on what is best overall for the family. Mediation and collaboration help clients plan for the future and eliminate the need for a judge in some cases. These approaches create a safe space for parties to work together with legal support, especially in cases involving children. Therapeutic jurisprudence and restorative justice play a key role in guiding these practices in family law, particularly in divorce proceedings.
