• Will a collaborative divorce work for you? Pittsburgh collaborative family law attorney Candice L. Komar explains individuals and couples appreciate the privacy and control they experience in the collaborative process for divorce and family law matters in this video. The collaborative process offers a team approach where collaboratively trained professionals meet with the individuals to discuss their interests and provide them with information in helping to make decisions about their particular issues. The goal of the collaborative process is to reach an overall settlement prior to either party filing for divorce. The agreement then becomes a marriage settlement agreement.
