Family Law Forum 2010:

What Is and What Will Be
Description: The TBA Family Law Section will present its annual Family Law Forum this year with the focus on current developments in Family Law and exciting changes on the horizon. The TBA Family Law Forum will feature a thorough review of recent developments in case law and recent and pending legislation keeping the family law practitioner up to date. In addition, the forum will include exciting panel discussion on Collaborative Law.

Collaborative Law provides a different approach to alternate dispute resolution. The objective is to reach a settlement of all issues in a divorce matter without going to Court. Each spouse is represented by their own collaborative attorney. The attorneys and spouses agree, in a written contract, to share all financial and other pertinent information relevant to the divorce without claiming confidentiality. This vital element of the process is what makes the collaborative divorce settlement process so unique. Since each spouse is willing to cooperate and share this information the time in which the attorneys must do extensive research and actually investigate the financial situation of the marital estate is drastically diminished, which decreases the legal costs and the actual time line of the divorce procedure.
