TWC Presents Collaborative Law 101

Learn all about the collaborative law process for resolving divorce or other family law-related situations. Learn about this new process which is based on self-determination, and has been described as the “kinder, gentler divorce” avoiding court where possible.

The workshop will walk through what the collaborative process is, the benefits, and how it differs from other legal processes.

Please note that the details of this program will not be tailored to any one specific case. The presentation will include legal information. The presenter cannot provide specific legal advice for ethical reasons.

PLEASE NOTE: WORKSHOP IS IN PERSON AT THE WOMENS CENTER IN VIENNA, VA
