The Collaborative Process and LGBT Families

Collaborative Practice is particularly helpful for LGBT families-- with or without children-- going through dissolution because:

the process can be structured to serve your family's real needs, giving you control over where to spend your resources and energy;
the Collaborative Practice process can help you create solutions that work for your family;
Collaborative Practice is not a “one size fits all” process; it can be tailored to each couple’s expectations and needs rather than relying on an area of the law that is confusing and unsettled with regard to LGBT issues; and
in a Collaborative Practice process, you can take into consideration tax and other consequences that are unique to LGBT families.
