Collaborative Divorce: A Respectful Way to Resolve Conflict

Divorce is never easy, but it doesn’t have to be hostile or drawn out in court. Collaborative divorce gives couples the opportunity to separate with dignity, compassion, and mutual respect. Lisa Mills helps families in Albany County, Rensselaer County, Greene County, and Columbia County work together toward solutions that preserve relationships and prioritize the well-being of everyone involved. By focusing on communication and cooperation, Lisa guides clients through one of life’s most difficult transitions in a way that fosters peace and stability.

Collaborative divorce is an out-of-court process where both spouses, their collaboratively trained attorneys, and other neutral professionals—such as financial specialists, child specialists, or family counselors—work together to reach an agreement that meets everyone’s needs. This approach replaces courtroom conflict with structured meetings focused on problem-solving. Each spouse commits to open communication and transparency, ensuring that all decisions about finances, property, and parenting are made thoughtfully and collaboratively.
