Why do we do this? |
|
|
After watching countless
clients counter-productively pursue hostile
approaches to divorce, a group of
Northern Ohio divorce attorneys formed The
Center for Principled Family Advocacy. The
Center trains attorneys and other
professionals and advisors in alternate
methods for resolving divorce, parental and
other family issues.
Today, a select number of
area attorneys are assisting their clients
to move forward to the next phase in their
lives. Sensible alternatives to litigation
create more livable futures for couples and
their children, usually at one-half to
two-thirds the cost of litigation. While a
combative divorce can produce high attorney
fees long in to the future, the resulting
destruction is rarely worth the fight for
anyone involved.
Center members understand
the economic, social and emotional impact of
divorce and other family conflicts. To
minimize the negative effects of contested
family disputes, Center members discuss with
clients all available processes by which the
matter can be resolved.
