Find out how mediation or collaborative divorce can work for you
Constructing New Beginnings
Divorce doesn’t have to mean a costly and painful battle. Mediation and collaborative divorce are two options for staying out of court. Both are faster, cost-effective, non-adversarial alternatives to stressful and expensive litigation. Working with a mediator or a collaborative support team is more peaceful and creates a foundation for both members of the couple to move forward to build a new life.
As a mediator and collaborative attorney with a down to earth, practical approach, Emily guides couples toward cooperative, respectful engagement. By honoring both parties’ priorities – and with the goal of lower stress for children and parents – she can help you get around roadblocks and craft sensible solutions. The results are lower costs, equitable results, and healthier, happier kids.
Compassionate Support • Effective Resolution
How De Falla Law & Mediation Can Help
Collaborative Divorce is a team approach to divorce. The friendly and cooperative process keeps you in control of your future, focusing on what is most important: family, finances, and emotional health. Participants work with a team of professionals to craft their own agreements, taking into consideration each family member’s needs and interests. The couple works together in a safe and structured environment, communicating respectfully and protecting the children from their conflict. Decisions are made by the participants themselves, outside the court system. Learn more >
