Collaborative Law focuses on reducing the conflict inherent in most divorces, thus our motto of “Less Hurt Divorce.” The members of Spokane County Collaborative Professionals are committed to acollaborative process that protects and supports each person, and are available to assist them in finding mutually agreeable solutions with the help of knowledgeable, caring professionals who have received extensive specialized training. In some respects, Collaborative Law is similar to mediation, but provides more legal and expert support than is typically available in mediation. For families with children, Collaborative Law encourages a focus on what is best for the children, thus providing a positive, nurturing environment for the children while maintaining healthy relationships with their parents.
Spokane County Collaborative Professionals (SCCP) is a non-profit association dedicated to educating both the public and professionals of the advantages and strengths for using the Collaborative Law, also referred to as Collaborative Practice, instead of the older, traditional litigation processes that people often fear. This website also identifies all those professionals in the eastern portion of Washington and northern Idaho who have both met the extensive training requirements recommended by SCCP, and have chosen to become members of SCCP.

- Provide thoughtful guidance and fair, sensible legal alternatives to litigated divorce
