We want to help at Iwanyshyn & Associates. We want long-term happiness for all of our clients. Our unique approach to collaborative family law has worked for people for more than 20 years.

Collaborative Law: A Unique Approach to Family Law

Collaborative law is a relatively new approach to resolving family law issues. In collaborative law, each spouse hires an attorney. These attorneys agree that they will work only towards a settlement, and will not litigate the matter. If the divorcing spouses are unable to reach a settlement, each attorney would withdraw from the case, and each spouse would have to find a new lawyer. In collaborative law, the parties agree to conduct respectful negotiations in good faith. The overriding goal is to negotiate towards a resolution that each party finds favorable. Collaborative law looks to provide a less contentious and less adversarial process in divorce. Collaborative law may be more creative, and less destructive than divorce litigation.

We Take Each Case Personally

If divorce mediation is an approach you may want to explore, our Pittsburgh law firm's founder has more than 100 hours of mediation training. We have successfully mediated disputes for the Allegheny County Child Custody Program, the U.S. Postal Service and private individuals, and can refer you to a large pool of court-approved mediators if situations warrant.

Our Pennsylvania collaborative family law firm maintains professional affiliations with counselors and therapists trained in dealing with family matters including divorce, custody and abuse issues. We educate you on the various alternatives of dispute resolution methods: mediation, arbitration and a hybrid method used to resolve parenting disputes called "Med-Arb."

We are glad to refer you to support groups in order to ease you through the divorce process. You need to know that you are not alone. Divorce is a devastating event that no one should ever have to experience alone.
