I'm not a financially motivated man and have been warned that this will result in my being taken advantage of. My Ex wants us to create a binding financial agreement through collaborative practice and I can't sleep worrying that I'm going to be left in a bad way and unable to provide the lifestyle I want to for my little girls.

I looked up what a collaborative lawyer does and it seems very fair to both but I suppose it may depend on the skills of the lawyers in involved. <BR /> <BR /> I understand why you worry. Is it possible to find a lawyer competent in this practice that you can trust. </P> Tue, 12 Oct 2021 07:46:10 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/has-anyone-used-a-collaborative-family-lawyer-not-looking-for/m-p/21286#M3639 quirkywords 2021-10-12T07:46:10Z
