NEGOTIATION
Resolving Family Law Disputes Without Courtroom Conflict
Not every family law case needs to be a battle. At The Fogelman Law Firm, we help clients in Clermont, Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Brown Counties resolve legal disputes through focused, strategic negotiation. Whether you're pursuing a divorce, custody agreement, or property division, our negotiation services are designed to reduce stress, preserve relationships, and protect your long-term interests—without the cost or drama of a courtroom trial.
Why Choose Negotiation?
Negotiation allows for customized solutions and greater control over the outcome. You may benefit from a negotiated agreement if you:
Want to resolve your case more quickly and cost-effectively
Prefer to keep your family matters private and out of court
Believe there is room for compromise with the other party
Need to maintain a working relationship with your co-parent
Want more control over outcomes than a judge might offer
Negotiation is not about giving in—it’s about reaching a fair, enforceable solution without escalating conflict.
What Can Be Resolved Through Negotiation?
Many family law issues can be resolved outside of court, including:
Divorce and dissolution agreements
Property and asset division
Spousal support and alimony terms
Child custody and parenting time schedules
Child support arrangements
Modifications of existing court orders
Our negotiation process focuses on transparency, strategy, and results that reflect your goals.
Our Legal Process for Negotiation
We take a calm but assertive approach to securing favorable outcomes through negotiation:
Strategy Session – We clarify your priorities and identify areas of flexibility
Information Exchange – We ensure both parties have a clear picture of the relevant facts
Negotiation Meetings – We advocate on your behalf during direct negotiations or attorney-to-attorney talks
Drafting the Agreement – We finalize a legally sound agreement ready for court approval
If negotiation fails, you retain the option to proceed to litigation with us fully prepared.
Billing & Payment Structure
We offer hourly billing for negotiation-based services, with the flexibility to shift to full representation if needed. This structure gives you control over both your case and your costs.
Common Concerns About Negotiation
“Does negotiating mean I’m giving up?”
➡ Not at all. Negotiation is about protecting your interests while avoiding unnecessary conflict and cost.
“What if the other side won’t be reasonable?”
➡ We start with negotiation—but we’re prepared to litigate if your rights aren’t being respected.
“Can we still go to court later if needed?”
➡ Yes. If an agreement can’t be reached, we’re ready to shift to court representation without missing a beat.
