My Personal Story
My professional life was transformed when I learned about Collaborative Family Law. I realized that rather than being part of a legal system which often further damages family relationships, I could be part of a restorative system. No longer was family law about “fighting for” or “protecting” assets; it was about transforming a relationship from one form into another. “Custody” and “visitation,” terms used in the prison system, became “parenting time.” Not only did these subtle differences feel gentler, they also felt more respectful, caring, and accurate. These changes make a positive difference in how a client and his or her family move through the legal process.
More than a profession for me, Collaborative Practice is a vocation. It offers me a way to align my personal values with my professional skills. I can offer hope in a time of stress and be an instrument of change and healing in people’s lives. My clients and their families create agreements that work for everyone, helping the family move forward in a productive and secure way. I’m able to live and work with integrity, to call forth my higher self and to help others do the same. I believe applying the principles taught by Collaborative Practice allows me to be of service to my clients, my community, and ultimately to inspire global change in how people in conflict interact.
My Professional Background
I’ve been helping families in the Twin Cities resolve conflicts and disputes since 1999. I’ve dedicated my practice to helping families reach out-of-court settlements through mediation, Collaborative Practice, and negotiated settlement. The Collaborative model can also be applied to other areas of family law outside of divorce, such as pre- and post-nuptial agreements, third-party custody, paternity, post-decree matters, and LGBTQ family matters that have not been recognized in the traditional court system until more recently. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Minnesota, followed by a Juris Doctor from Hamline University School of Law.
I’m an active member of the Collaborative Law Institute of Minnesota (CLI), International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP), and several Minnesota and Ramsey County Bar organizations. I have served on the CLI Board of Trustees twice and have led the organization as Co-President each term. In 2013, I was awarded the Stu Webb Award, which was created to recognize and is named for the creator of Collaborative Law more than 25 years ago. I also train attorneys and mediators around the country about Discernment Counseling and how to recognize and address divorce ambivalence in our work.
I regularly volunteer for the Collaborative Law Institute’s Low Bono Project, as well as Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services, an organization committed to providing a full range of high quality legal services to low income people and eligible client groups in civil matters.
Outside of the office, I enjoy sailboat racing on Lake Minnetonka; fly fishing on the Brule; skiing; cooking; being active in my church community. I also enjoy connecting, exploring, and creating with my husband and three children in our blended family. I have a strong co-parenting relationship with my former husband.

Additional Details about Ron Ousky
Who I am
I grew up in Milroy, Minnesota, a tiny town of 268 people that, in the 1960’s was like living in a Norman Rockwell painting. While more than four decades of urban living has toughened me up a bit, I have retained romanticized notions about life’s possibilities.
I am not sure how this all led me to a career in family law but that is where I landed, and where I have remained since 1982. I think I was drawn to this work because of my passion for kids and relationships.
I realize it may seem odd that someone who believes in relationships would go into a business in which relationships are in disrepair and kids are faced with conflict. That’s not how I see it. Helping people who are facing challenges in their relationships is more rewarding; provided we can find the best way to help them.
I suppose the other reason I got into the family law business is because I like kids. I started out as a kid, (many years ago), and went on to have three of my own, (with some help from my wife of more than 40 years). Now my kids are even having kids; we have five grandchildren who light up our lives every day.
What I have done
I graduated with honors from the University of St. Thomas and with honors from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1982.
For the first 15 years of my practice, I helped families in the traditional way; using the court, or at least the threat of court, to protect my clients and their children. And I was good at it. I received significant recognition as a good trial lawyer and I impressed most of my clients. The person I failed to impress was myself. I could not avoid the fact these traditional methods often led to long term damage to relationships, and even to children that seemed intolerable, even when my clients ‘won”.
That was when I started looking for better ways. During the past 20 years, most of my practice has been spent helping my clients get better outcomes, through “out-of-court” strategies. In many ways this has been more difficult; steering people who are angry and scared away from their impulses can feel like swimming upstream on some days. But I’ve come to really believe in it; and I have found (and even helped develop) some truly innovative ways to help my clients get better outcomes through things like Collaborative Law and mediation. I have even become internationally recognized for my work in these new areas, (see below). As much as I take pride in what we have accomplished at Ousky Law office, it is very humbling work. I learn new things every day.
In 2006, I co-authored The Collaborative Way to Divorce: The Revolutionary Method that Results in less Stress, Lower Costs and Happier Kids, Without Going to Court, with Stu Webb, the founder of Collaborative Law. In 2015, I was awarded the Lawyer as Problem Solver Award by the American Bar Association. I have had the opportunity to speak at many events and forums on the topic of Collaborative Law and I have conducted training seminars throughout North America, South America and Europe.
I have handled thousands of family law cases, including hundreds of cases in each of the following areas: traditional negotiation; mediation; Collaborative Law and litigation. I am also the cofounder of the Collaborative Alliance Executive Suites, believed to be the largest interdisciplinary family law center in the world.
I have always said that if I ever reach a point where helping families in transition becomes uninteresting to me, I will happily retire. But I feel I am a long way from that point. Every client who walks through the door presents a new story, a new opportunity to grow; a chance to help someone who is going through one of the most difficult times in their life find a better way.

Additional Details about Megan Yates
I am a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association, the Collaborative Law Institute of Minnesota, and the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP). I am also currently serving as the President of the Collaborative Law Institute of Minnesota. Finally, I enjoy presenting on a variety of topics related to Collaborative Law and am a frequent presenter at the Annual Networking and Educational Forum of the IACP and at Daisy Camp.
Transition and re-organization are the hallmarks of my upbringing. Being on the cusp of a new beginning can be intimidating and anxiety-filled and exciting and exhilarating…all at the same time, felt in concert, or experienced on a continuum on which ones travels back and forth many times. Either way, I get it. And it’s my goal to help guide families through times of adjustment and transformation.
I am an Attorney and Partner here at Ousky Yates Law Office (“OYLO” for short). I was born in Orlando, Florida, and after meandering my way across the country with my family, landed in Minnesota. Despite living in Minnesota for over 20 years, I still adamantly maintain my status as a “Minnesotan, kinda sorta.” However, I married a cool guy I refer to as a “hardcore Minnesotan”, and as such have come to peace with the fact that a winter parka will forever be an essential piece of my winter wardrobe.
When I’m not at the office, I can be found managing the never-ending craziness created by my spunky, spirited, sassy 9-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. Add in an aging, obstinate Labrador, a husband who owns his own small business, and a batch of wonderful in-laws who live down the street, my life is pretty full. And I like it that way.
I have a knack for sifting through overwhelming and confusing situations and for focusing in on what matters most. Indeed, it’s what I love to do. For myself, my friends and family, and for my clients. My practice focuses exclusively on family law matters, including divorce and adoption. I wholeheartedly believe that each client’s situation is unique, and therefore, process choices should be tailored to meet the specific needs of each family. As such, I help clients reach resolutions using Collaborative Law, mediation, and a variety of unbundled legal service options. I also have this freakish (or so it seems to some) common-sense approach to financial/budgeting matters and enjoy helping clients with these issues post-divorce as well.
I graduated from the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities with a degree in Family Social Science (think family psychology meets sociology) in 2007. After a brief stint in graduate school (to discover becoming a family therapist wasn’t the right fit for me), I obtained my post-baccalaureate certificate in Paralegal Studies.
After doing the paralegal thing at OLO for many years, I decided it was time for law school. However, with an 18-month old at home at the time, traditional law school wasn’t going to cut it. So, I joined the inaugural group of law students in Mitchell Hamline School of Law’s Hybrid J.D. Program, the only ABA-approved hybrid (partially online, partially on-campus) law program in the country. I graduated, magna cum laude, from Mitchell Hamline in 2018.

As such, he focused his practice on Estate Planning and Family Law. George opened Zaske Law Office in 2003.
George is licensed to practice law in both Minnesota and Wisconsin and has offices in both states (St. Paul and Hudson).

He speaks at many events regarding estate planning for children with special needs.
