Divorce
Dallas-Fort Worth Area Divorce Lawyer
Divorce is never easy; however, with support and effective legal counsel, family members can emerge with a reasonable working relationship and a shared understanding of the needs of their children.
Dallas-Fort Worth divorce lawyer Colleen A. Dunbar approaches divorce proceedings with empathy for the entire family--and always with the best interests of the child in mind. From personal experience, she knows how difficult divorce is on a child, and she works diligently to remind family members that the life and emotional well-being of the children are at stake. She also firmly believes in the concept of mediating conflicts and disputes between divorcing spouses whenever possible. Contact Dallas divorce attorney Colleen A. Dunbar today for a consultation and case review to understand your options concerning the following:
- Divorce / Marriage dissolution
- Collaborative law divorce
- Divorce mediation
- Legal separation
As a child, Colleen Dunbar was subjected to the hotly-contested divorce and child custody case of her own parents. During that difficult time, she was forced to testify in court against one parent. That wrenching experience has greatly influenced the way Dunbar handles divorce and child custody cases today.
"I will never allow (a divorcing couple) to forget what this is all about-the children. A child's life will be forever altered by the decisions (the parents) make during divorce. They have to take those children into consideration."

Divorce Mediation
As a parent, you are the best person to make decisions as to the lives and future of your children. A judge doesn't know you or your children, and therefore is ill-equipped to make decisions about who, where, and how you and your children will live your lives until the child turns 18. While alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation are not for everybody, Attorney Dunbar encourages mediation if divorcing spouses can commit to do all they can to take the emotion out of the divorce settlement and make rational decisions. Mediation calls for an earnest attempt to divide property, settle differences, and structure a living arrangement for children that will work for all the parties.
Collaborative Law
Divorce attorney Colleen A. Dunbar also is involved in collaborative law, another amicable approach to family law cases that helps people resolve legal disputes outside of the courtroom. Contact Colleen A. Dunbar to learn more about her divorce practice.
