Divorce &
Child Custody
No two marriages are the same – that is also true for divorces or separations. Generally, we will try the most cost effective and amicable way to resolve your case first. However, if that approach will not work for whatever reason, we have a wealth of trial experience and are not afraid to take your case to court. What that means for you is that you have an experienced advocate on your side in whatever setting best suits your specific situation – from aggressive trial litigation to amicable out of court negotiation, and everything in between.
Family Law
Mediation
Mediation is an informal settlement process that brings you and your spouse or co-parent together to discuss your disagreements with the goal of reaching a solution that is uniquely suited to your family. This process is an alternative to going to court. It is beneficial in that it costs less than traditional litigation and is less confrontational. Amanda is an IA family law mediator and also represents individual clients in divorce and family law mediation in IA and MN.
Collaborative
Law
Collaborative law is generally considered a kinder gentler way to divorce. This approach saves time and money while striving to preserve relationships. The crux of collaborative law is that you agree to resolve your issues without going to court. This approach may work well for you if you are open to working together toward a resolution that is fair and reasonable to both of you. In order to use this process, you both must hire divorce attorneys who, like Amanda, are certified in collaborative law.
