How Will You Choose to Divorce?

The Collaborative Divorce Process lets your family control the process, cost, timetable, and your privacy.

The collaborative divorce process can help you and your family through challenging, emotional times. Most families benefit by choosing to resolve issues constructively. That choice may fit your family best, too. If so, contact Orlando Collaborative Divorce attorney Michael P. Sampson. Michael handles Florida collaborative law matters only. That means no litigation. If you choose and your spouse or partner choose to be adversaries, excellent litigators may help you. But maybe there’s a better choice for you.

You Have Choices

When people bring their family issues to a judge, what might it cost them financially, emotionally, and in permanently ruptured relationships? How might limited solutions judges impose affect the kids? Might divorcing couples take control and figure out something better for themselves and their families? Might you?

Orlando Collaborative Divorce Attorney: Lessons from Litigating

Michael litigated family law and business cases in court for 30 years. That experience gave him more than wrinkles. With wrinkles came perspective, sensitivity to issues that may come up, and professional judgment about what works for families and what doesn’t. Michael has been 100% committed to the Collaborative Process since 2016.

SCL's Commitment to Collaborate

Collaborative divorce is confidential, respectful, open, and interest-based. When you have kids, it’s child-focused. With help from your collaborative team, you and your spouse or partner can respectfully create positive, lasting solutions and stay out-of-court. Could that be the right choice for you?
