Advancing the New, Modern Approach to Family Law-​Respectfully.

Since 2007, The California Courts have officially recognized the Collaborative approach as the fastest, and most effective way to resolve a family divorce in California.

If you and your spouse are considering divorce or in need of resolving a marital conflict, a new alternative to the traditional litigation approach is called a Collaborative Law process for Family Law, and can be applied to any divorce, legal separation, non-​marital child custody negotiations, pre and post marital agreements or any other marital conflict. Now favored by State Courts and codified in the law, this new modern approach provides a way for all parties and professionals to agree to an out-​of-​court solution which removes the threat of litigation and creates a transformative process that put you in complete control of the process and the outcome…

History

Established in 2010.

OUR VISION

FamilyFirst Law was created as a specialized law firm with

the vision to transform how families resolve conflict and to

provide a safe-​haven when they need guidance resolving

disputes – before and after the marriage. Litigation can last

for years. And the process is usually emotionally destructive

and often leaves couples financially bankrupt. Furthermore,

there is a misconception that a final judgment on legal

issues ends all the problems. This is never the case.

California courts retain jurisdiction over a host of issues such

as: child custody, visitation, child support, and spousal support. Unless and until couples learn to cooperate and work together, they will almost always end up back in court at some point and often several times.

Our vision is to structure a process that opens the channels of communication in a way that supports creative thinking, and promotes education and active participation in the development of a long term solution.
