Collaborative law : Achieving effective resolution in divorce without litigation
By Tesler, Pauline H. American Bar Association. Second edition. 2008.
"This unique new handbook explains this emerging dispute resolution model of collaborative law that is helping family lawyers bring their clients through the divorce passage with integrity and satisfaction. Collaborative Law describes how this approach engages the unique problem-solving skills of lawyers to achieve settlements that creatively and appropriately customize outcomes in the way that few courts are able to achieve. In the collaborative process, fees and costs are minimized, high-quality legal counsel and negotiating assistance are built in, and the ability of divorcing spouses to cooperate and co-parent is maximized to a dramatic extent." - publisher's description

Meeting your interests : Collaborative law and other options for dispute resolution
Denton County Collaborative Professionals. 2010.
Collaborative law places the emphasis on settling disputes by having both sides define their “fundamental interests” in the dispute. Once each party identifies the outcome they want to achieve, they each look for various options that will get them there. In addition to the parties and their respective attorneys, the “collaborative team” can include a neutral mental health professional and a neutral financial professional. Together this group assists the disputing parties negotiate a resolution that “honors” each party’s interests. Written by the Denton County Collaborative Professionals, Inc., this volume is of particular relevance to Texas. Additional publications and relevant websites are included for further research.
