A Message From Tom Marks...
Did you know all of the Family Law Attorneys at The Marks Law Firm, P.A. are collaboratively trained?
Pictured below are Matt Capstraw, myself, and A.Jay Fowinkle.
For couples who are considering divorce, the collaborative approach may be a good option. Most cases that move forward collaboratively are resolved more quickly, thus resulting in less legal fees. Unlike litigation, collaborative divorce involves opposing counsel working together in the best interest of the family as a whole. In addition to Family Law Attorneys, Clients who opt for this approach will also have a team of professionals including a Mental Health Neutral and Financial Neutral.
During the Collaborative process, a Family Law Attorney will...
- Serve as your legal advocate and counselor
- Work closely with you and other collaborative professionals to maximize your goals and interests in order to achieve the best possible outcome for you
- Prioritize the needs of your family
A Mental Health Counselor will...
- Guide you and your spouse towards effective communication
- Initiate a positive co-parenting relationship with your spouse
- Assist you in the development of a parenting plan that maximizes the benefits to your children
A Financial Advisor will...
- Identify any assets and debts
- Analyze your overall financial situation
- Provide you with financial options to help you and your family achieve your goals and interests for the future
