Orlando Collaborative Law Attorney
A Simpler Way to Resolve Family Law Disputes
Are you facing a divorce or other family law dispute? Are you worried about how you can resolve it without a long, expensive, and contentious court battle? Are you afraid that your negative feelings about your soon-to-be ex-spouse will cloud your judgment or prevent you from finding an effective resolution?
All of these are legitimate concerns when it comes to divorce and family law. Divorce brings with it a host of emotions, from anger, loss, and resentment to animosity and revenge. None of these are helpful if you want to preserve your sanity and the emotional well-being of your children.
Collaborative law is a more amicable way to handle the disagreements and adversity that can otherwise take a toll on your mental health, your finances, and your time. Collaborative law is an alternative dispute resolution method used in family law that will help you and your spouse come to terms using cooperative methods rather than contentious litigation. The Law Office of Paulette Hamilton, P.A. offers representation using collaborative law as a better way to reach a favorable settlement.

How Does Collaborative Divorce Work?
The collaborative law process begins with you and your spouse committing to resolving your divorce issues without the intervention of the courts. The process consists of you, your spouse, and your respective attorneys sitting down separately and together so as to resolve differences concerning divorce issues through constructive communication, problem-solving, and mutual respect. Attorneys trained in collaborative law use creative strategies to keep the communication flowing while also providing legal counsel to their respective clients.
The collaborative divorce process may also involve other professionals to help you solve your issues. These professionals are neutral parties who can provide much-needed information. They may be accountants or other financial experts, child counselors, or mental health experts. During the process, each party’s goals and interests are discussed and resolved together.
The benefits of this method include:
- Privacy
- Putting you in control of decisions as opposed to a judge
- Working on your own schedule rather than penciling in court schedules and proceedings
- Saving money and time
- Resolving disputes more amicably
Once you and your spouse have reached an agreement on all of the issues related to your divorce with the help of your team, the agreement can be drafted as a marital settlement for approval from the court.

"I will never forget how kind she was during such a low time in my life."Mrs. Hamilton is very compassionate. She helped me and my husband file bankruptcy and I will never forget how kind she was during such a low time in my life. She took the time to explain the entire process to me and my husband and helped us get through our bankruptcy. She is very knowledgeable and I would recommend her to anyone considering bankruptcy.- A Satisfied Client

"Honest and upfront with me from the very beginning."I hired Ms. Hamilton for a divorce approximately a year and a half ago. She was my second attorney in my divorce case. I have learned when hiring an attorney you must find someone who you can work with to achieve a resolution in your case. She was honest and upfront with me from the very beginning about the remaining cost and attorney fees in my case. She remained poised and encouraging even though I was going through an emotional breakdown at times. I would highly recommend her services to anyone going through a divorce.- A Satisfied Client

"Attorney Hamilton goes the extra mile."It was comforting to have Attorney Paulette Hamilton represent me in my legal case. The legal process can be costly, draining, and doubtful because final decisions are left up to a third-party who is not emotionally vested in your case. Attorney Hamilton goes the extra mile to show she is passionate about your case via the time and effort she puts in preparing for the case, i.e., vigorous research, prepping and informing the client of case progress or options, developing strong arguments, fair costs, etc. The legal process can be a difficult and frustrating journey. However, I am confident that I made the right decision in choosing Attorney Hamilton to get me through it. Thank you and your team for the hard work, professionalism, and care shown during my case.- LaTasha M.

"Open and honest from the beginning."I have searched for attorneys left and right. I have received both good and bad advice from what I believe to be people just after money. The moment I spoke with Paulette and her team, I knew that I had found a fighter. A firm who would fight for my families rights. Paulette is passionate about the work she does, she listens and never makes you feel rushed. She is open and honest from the beginning. One thing I truly appreciate about her, is the honesty. Even if it is something I believe I needed, or wanted, she would remind me of what truly was a need. Her paralegal Angela is just as much as a fighter. I never felt alone, even on holidays I would receive responses. I am forever grateful for Paulette and Angela and would highly recommend them to anyone who feels or has felt lost. The law is on your side when you have the right people there to back you up.- Maria C.
