Roy Martin is a collaborative and uncontested divorce and family law attorney in Bellingham, Washington. He has been in practice since 1996. After litigating for a number of years, he gave it up to focus entirely on alternative dispute resolution. In essence, this means Mr. Martin is a peacemaker. He assists those trying to settle their divorces out of court. Some families can do that with relatively little support. Others need a great deal of help because working together is not necessarily easy. Divorcing spouses often have legitimate fears and concerns, as well as differing perspectives. Mr. Martin works to provide support for those who want to divorce amicably. He offers approaches that contain challenging emotions like fear and mistrust, which can cause divorces to go off track. Collaborative Divorce provides the most support and containment of any option. In a collaborative divorce, each party is represented by an attorney trained in the art and science of peacemaking. Both parties and both attorneys sign an agreement giving up their right to take the case to court. We all win or lose together. Neither side can win at the other's expense. Both parties agree to disclose everything that's relevant. And they work with allied professionals -- a divorce coach, a child specialist if there are children and maybe a financial specialist too. We work as a team to reach agreements satisfactory to both spouses. Collaborative Divorce, Uncontested Divorce, Mediated Divorce
