In this climate of the corona virus where social distancing is a buzz word, and the institutions that we relied on are not available, it is quite clear that the court system cannot be relied upon in resolving our disputes. Justice delayed is justice denied, and nowhere is that more telling than in our current times. If you are in divorce litigation, your case is going to be adjourned into May or even longer. There will be a backlog of cases. Support staff may be working from home, or they may not, and there will be a backlog of cases and paperwork. How do you not fall prey to this? It’s a wakeup call for us not to rely on the court system to resolve our cases, particularly family law matters.

In the collaborative process, or during mediation, you are on your own time schedule. You can set up sessions as you wish. Much can be dealt with through email, letters, and phone calls. In today’s day and age with remote access, cases can be worked on in office without “in office” visits. In mediation and in collaborative divorce, there is a commitment to finalize the divorce and prepare a settlement agreement, which both parties can live with and meets their needs. They do not have Big Brother watching and they are not at the mercy of the court system. You and your family are in control of your own destiny.
