Stange Law Firm, PC Members Help Form The Missouri Collaborative Institute

Several attorneys at Stange Law Firm, PC are proud to announce that they have help form the Missouri Collaborative Institute, which is a practice group of collaborative professionals in Missouri.



    ST. LOUIS, MO, October 16, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stange Law Firm, PC is proud to announce that several members of the firm have helped found the Missouri Collaborative Institute.

The Missouri Collaborative Institute is a practice group of professionals who provide divorce and family law services to those in need in Missouri. The Missouri Collaborative Institute adheres to the tenants of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.

Instead of parties going to court to litigate their divorce and family law matters, they instead try to resolve their case outside of court utilizing the collaborative team. The collaborative team consists of Missouri collaborative divorce attorneys, a divorce coach and a financial neutral.

Together, all these professionals work together to help the parties seek a resolution outside of court. If the parties can reach an agreement outside of court, the case is then submitted on an uncontested basis through settlement documents.

If, on the other hand, a settlement cannot be reached, the parties then hire separate legal counsel to litigate their case. But the hope is that this is not necessary.

Missouri collaborative divorce and family law in St. Louis and beyond is a good process because many parties want to settle their divorce, family law or child custody matter. However, when they get into the details, there are areas of disagreement that prevent settlement.

Typically, parties would then go to court to have the family court judge make a decision. But with collaborative practice, the goal is for the collaborative team to help facilitate a discussion, obtain the information and work together to forge agreements where previously the parties might not thought it possible.

This can help the parties into the future in terms of being able to co-parent and not have hard feelings after the conclusion of the case.

If you are interested in hearing about how our collaborative divorce lawyers in St. Louis, Missouri and else in Missouri can help you, you can call the Missouri Collaborative Institute at 855-595-6779.

The attorneys at Stange Law Firm, PC are proud to take part in the formation of the Missouri Collaborative Institute. John Kershman is the President. Kelly Davidzuk is the Treasurer. Kirk Stange is on the Board of Directors. Other members of the Missouri Collaborative Institute include Carla Zolman who is Vice President, Sandra Shachar who is Secretary and Ralph Ostermueller who is a Financial Neutral.

The hope is that the Missouri Collaborative Institute can help change how divorce and family law matters are resolved for the better in Missouri in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, Springfield and elsewhere in Missouri. Instead of parties litigating their cases in court, the hope is that collaborative law can really take hold in Missouri divorce and family law matters.
