Find a Collaborative professional

We promote:

• RESPECT
  The Collaborative Practice agreement to acknowledge and maintain each individual's dignity and respect supports both parties' highest goals. With open communication and information sharing, all parties continue to focus on their commitment to mutual respect throughout the Collaborative process.
• RESOLVE
  Can serious conflict be resolved without going to court? It can, and IACP members are dedicated to negotiating mutually acceptable settlements outside the court system. The help of additional professionals in areas of finance, personal matters, and child custody further strengthens the goal of resolution.
• RENEW
  When mutual respect and a resolve to manage differences are maintained through Collaborative Practice, moving forward has a realistic basis for success. With a more positive process, new beginnings and opportunities take root more quickly.

ABOUT THE JERSEY SHORE COLLABORATIVE LAW GROUP

Founded in 2005, the JSCLG is a business organization created to provide a platform for the implementation, development and promotion of the use of the collaborative legal process to resolve divorces and other family law related disputes.  The group brings together matrimonial attorneys, financial professionals and mental health professionals to foster the growth of the collaborative divorce process in New Jersey.

The first organization of its kind in New Jersey, the members of the JSCLG consider themselves pioneers in the field of collaborative law here in New Jersey.  Indeed, the JSCLG initiated application and was the driving force behind the promulgation of Opinion 699 by the New Jersey Supreme Court’s Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics, one of the first comprehensive ethics opinions issued anywhere in the nation supporting the concept of collaborative law divorces.

The JSCLG sponsors lectures, training seminars and media efforts to educate practicing collaborative professionals and the general public about the benefits of collaborative law.  In addition, the JSCLG sponsors authorship of various articles and educational materials for publication in legal and professional journals to promote the practice of collaborative law.

With a focus on Monmouth and Ocean Counties, but a goal to foster the development of collaborative practice statewide, the JSCLG website provides a one stop portal listing contact information for attorneys, financial professionals, and mental health professionals who meet the group’s stringent training requirements covering both collaboration and mediation training to assure competent, quality representation to divorcing couples.
