Collaborative Family Law
Collaborative Family Law is an alternative to traditional divorce litigation, allowing couples to resolve disputes respectfully and equitably without going to court. The goal of collaborative family law is to help divorcing and separating couples focus on their most important goals -- especially acting in the best interest of their children -- throughout the divorce process.

Anne Wynne and Carrie Helmcamp both have extensive training in collaborative practice and offer the right balance of skills and insight to clients seeking this type of resolution. More importantly, Anne and Carrie are parents who are sensitive to the emotional issues that arise in family law cases.

Anne has years of experience as both a mediator and family law attorney. She knows how to help parties understand the legal and financial issues involved in a divorce and formulate and obtain solutions which meet our client needs.

Carrie has years of courtroom experience and recognizes the real value to families of resolving their disputes in a private setting where the parties retain control of the outcome.

Carrie’s 2007 Texas Bar Journal article on Collaborative Family Law explains the collaborative process and its advantages to clients who want to minimize the negative effects of divorce.  Through this process, the parties can protect their family’s privacy and remain in control of the outcome when going through this difficult time.
