Welcome

At Theresa Beran Kulat & Associates, we are dedicated to helping people resolve legal issues in a non-adversarial way. Collaborative Divorce (also referred to as Collaborative Practice) is an innovative, rational approach to divorce in a process that too often overlooks the fact that real people and real families are involved.

The Collaborative Practice Option

When a couple gets married, they do not plan to break up. In some cases, however, people grow in different directions and despite their best efforts, it becomes clear that a divorce is best for all involved. In Collaborative Divorce, couples agree to avoid litigation and instead commit to a process where they work together to find solutions to their differences.

Why Theresa Beran Kulat & Associates?

 

Theresa Beran Kulat & Associates is recognized throughout the law community as a compassionate, talented group of people committed to Collaborative Divorce.

Our clients’ lives are impacted in a positive way during a very difficult time. They have developed the skills they will need to maintain solid working relationships with former spouses and to build healthy new lives.  Their children benefit because their needs were at the core of the process and the final agreements.

 

Our experience further strengthens our belief that Collaborative Divorce is the answer when a couple places a high value on respect, communication, compassion, and truthfulness, rather than simply winning. When the divorce is complete, our clients feel positive about themselves and about what they have done to reach agreements that work.
