WHO WE ARE

Portland Collaborative Divorce is a group of the highest-quality professionals in Portland offering support for families going through divorce and other family conflicts. We provide legal, emotional and financial support to help families with a peaceful divorce. We help you avoid the stress and expense of going to court.

PCD is made up of experienced and accomplished attorneys, mediators, mental health professionals, child specialists and financial specialists who can provide customized, collaborative (non-adversarial) services tailored to fit your family's needs.

The full compliment of our services include collaborative legal representation, mediation and co-mediation, mental health and divorce coaching, expertise regarding parenting and children's issues, financial planning, solution-based negotiations, and legal document assistance.

Portland Collaborative Divorce is not a law firm, but a professional network of independent practitioners. This provides the flexibility for both spouses to work with practitioners within our network.
