Denton Divorce Attorneys

A Creative and Practical Approach With Collaborative Divorce.

Loveless & Loveless is an advocate for the use of the Collaborative Divorce Method in Family Law. Loveless & Loveless is a member of The Denton County Collaborative Professionals.

Collaborative Divorce is a form of dispute resolution which removes the “win at all costs” approach from divorce. In this process, parties and their attorneys contractually agree at the outset to settle their disputes without going to court. Spouses avoid lengthy-and costly-“discovery” by agreeing to disclose and exchange all information required to make sensible and fair decisions.

The result: A less emotionally destructive, more dignified divorce that, in some cases, can be less expensive than a litigated divorce.

The difference between litigation and a collaborative divorce lies not only in the outcome, but in what happens along the way.
