COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE

Sarah E. Kay, Esq., BCS is a member of the Tampa Bay Academy of Collaborative Divorce Professionals, a highly selective non-profit association of independent attorneys, neutral financials, and neutral facilitators who specialize in and commit to collaborative divorce.

 

Collaborative Divorce is an alternative to an adversarial divorce within the court system.  Each party in a Collaborative Divorce has a collaboratively trained attorney who counsels them.  The parties, with assistance from their counsel, will carefully select and jointly hire a neutral financial professional and a neutral facilitator who will provide both of them with uniquely-tailored information and support during the process. The team of parties, attorneys, and joint neutrals will work together to identify goals, gather relevant information and documents, brainstorm solutions, the negotiate, draft, and implement a Collaborative Settlement Agreement.  The professionals involved in a Collaborative Divorce are focused on problem-solving, not adversarial advocacy.

Sarah Kay was my attorney through a very hard and trying time in my life.

Working with Sarah Kay was a really great experience. From our initial meeting, she quickly put me at ease by outlining where I was and providing me with options for getting to where I wanted to be. She was very knowledgeable about the overall divorce process and current statutes. Sarah remained accessible from the initial consult all the way through final judgement, providing practical answers to whatever questions came up. She was genuinely concerned about the case and reassured me numerous times that things were going to be fine. It was great having an experienced and compassionate lawyer in my corner, who turned a really stressful time into a much more manageable one. I highly recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance in the area of family law, and would not hesitate to work with her again.
