What is Collaborative Law in Maryland?
Collaborative Law is a voluntary dispute resolution process in which parties work together with their attorneys to reach a settlement that meets the needs and goals of all involved. It’s a holistic approach that emphasizes open communication, negotiation, and problem-solving, with a focus on preserving relationships, especially when family members are concerned.
What is Collaborative Divorce?
Collaborative divorce offers a peaceful alternative to the usual courtroom drama. In this approach, both sides work together with their lawyers in a private setting to sort out their separation, focusing on respect and cooperation. This method helps maintain dignity and offers a supportive environment, making the divorce process smoother for everyone involved.
How Collaborative Divorce Can Protect Your Financial Future
Trusting the collaborative divorce process is key. It's built on honesty and mutual respect, with lawyers trained to resolve issues peacefully. The process also includes neutral advisors like coaches and child specialists who make sure all decisions are fair and consider everyone's best interest, especially children. This team effort builds a strong foundation of trust, making it easier to agree on the important matters.
Can You Trust the Collaborative Divorce Process and the People Involved?
Collaborative divorce helps you manage your finances wisely during a separation. Financial experts join the process to ensure fair handling of assets and debts. They guide you through financial decisions to secure your future, aiming for an agreement that supports long-term stability without ongoing disputes.
Is A Collaboration Agreement Binding in Maryland?
Collaborative Law not only focuses on amicable resolutions and preserving relationships but also ensures that the agreements reached are legally binding. Once all parties involved agree to the terms during the collaborative process, these terms are formalized in a written collaboration agreement. This document is then submitted to the court for approval. Once approved, the collaboration agreement holds the same legal weight as any other court judgment or order. This means that while the process is carried out in a non-contentious, cooperative setting, the final outcomes are enforceable under the law.
By choosing collaborative law at Akman & Associates, you ensure that your resolutions are not only tailored to your family’s needs but are also secure and enforceable, giving you peace of mind about the legality and permanence of the agreement.

Jared and the Akman group provided excellent services. From my first consult to the end, I was confident in every step in the process. Jared was available and more than willing to answer any questions or go over something in detail. He was professional and direct while being warm and approachable.
