About Us
WHO WE ARE
Welcome to the Collaborative Professionals of Northern Virginia (CPNV), the largest Collaborative Practice group in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are a group of like-minded, collaboratively trained attorneys, mental health professionals (serving as coaches and child specialists) and financial professionals who adhere to the highest legal and ethical requirements for the practice of Collaborative Law. Our professional members must meet ongoing professional training requirements and must maintain all qualifications for membership in our practice group (Virginia Collaborative Professionals, VaCP). Our members attend monthly educational programs to enhance knowledge and skills, and to share best practices. CPNV is also a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.
WHAT WE DO
We offer individuals an opportunity to resolve disputes outside of court. We help you settle matters related to family matters, such as separation, divorce, custody, support, division of property, and premarital agreements, within a model of respect, integrity and honesty. The Collaborative team of professionals help families and other partnerships through often complex legal, emotional and financial processes and decisions. Our goal is to facilitate the transition to a healthy separation and dissolution of partnerships without litigation, to minimize the negative effects on children and to create a framework for ongoing positive interaction in co-parenting of children.
