Collaborative Law Institute of Minnesota

Collaborative Practice is an international network of attorneys and other professionals who believe it is important to create healthier, more holistic solutions for families facing separation or divorce.

More than 100 collaborative practitioners are members of the Collaborative Law Institute of Minnesota. Our membership includes attorneys, mediators, mental health professionals, child psychologists, and financial planners who are available to serve families in the areas in which they need the most help.

Mission

To attract, support and train members to advance the practice and values of Collaborative Law.

Vision

Transforming family dispute resolution into a healing process through collaborative practice.

Values

Collaborative law:

• focuses on finding solutions that meet the needs of the entire family in cases of separation or divorce
• recognizes that relationships and obligations may need to continue after the marriage ends
• encourages couples to keep their most important goals in mind, especially when their decisions will affect children
• supports the couple in developing a “future focused” strategy rather than dwelling on the past
• requires everyone to work together respectfully, honestly, and in good faith
