Cleveland Collaborative Divorce Attorneys

There Has To Be A Better Way

Collaborative Divorce

Getting a divorce doesn’t have to be adversarial and destructive. At Kvale Antonelli & Raj, our philosophy is to preserve relationships and shape the future rather than using the courts to fracture families and punish spouses.

The attorneys of this firm have pioneered the practice of collaborative divorce in the greater Cleveland area. This method allows spouses to resolve their disputes with their best interests and dignity intact without the need for expensive and counterproductive litigation.

Using creative problem-solving techniques, we negotiate to successfully end your marriage without the expense and malice associated with litigation. We strive to lessen the damage and leave you and your former spouse in a better position to co-parent your children and move on with your lives.

Although we resolve many cases through collaborative negotiations and other out-of-court methods, our skilled lawyers are fully prepared to protect clients’ interests in courtroom proceedings when necessary. See what our clients say about working with Kvale Antonelli & Raj.
