In Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas, you can find the help you need by contacting Haskell Law, PC.

I am firm founder Michael J. Haskell.

When starting the process, you may not know which services you need or which approach may be right for you. Thankfully, you don’t need to. I am happy to explain all your options and make recommendations based on your needs, your goals and your unique family situation.

Exploring Alternatives Like Mediation

There was a time when litigation was the only way to get divorced. This often created an unnecessary conflict and an adversarial stance on both sides. Thankfully, there are now alternative dispute resolution methods available, including mediation. Rather than present the case to a judge, both parties meet in a series of negotiations facilitated by a neutral third-party mediator. Each spouse can confer with their own attorneys and negotiate agreements that work for all parties involved.

Another method that I strongly recommend is collaborative divorce, which I discuss in greater detail on my collaborative divorce page. Whenever children are involved in a family law dispute, shielding them from trauma is paramount, and a negotiated resolution is often the best way to do so. Collaborative divorce is a peaceful and mature process that allows the parties to avoid litigation, and to avoid airing their dirty laundry in the public domain.

Whether you take advantage of an alternative resolution method or need to litigate your case, I am ready to safeguard your interests, protect the well-being of your children and seek the most favorable resolution available.
