Most law firms that offer a collaborative or cooperative divorce learned the method from somewhere else. A&M Law is different: Misty Gaubatz and Ashley Hurlbert co-pioneered Cooperative Family Law right here in Western Montana. When you work with us, you're working with the people who built the approach, not someone applying it secondhand.

What Cooperative Divorce Offers

In a cooperative divorce, both spouses keep their own attorneys and resolve everything (property, parenting, and support) out of court through structured, respectful negotiation. You get independent legal protection without the cost, delay, and conflict of a contested case. For most families, that means a faster resolution, lower cost, and a process that protects children rather than putting them in the middle.
