Some may opt for mediation, <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/services\/divorce\/collaborative-divorce\/\">Collaborative Divorce<\/a>, or a negotiated divorce. For couples preferring an out-of-court resolution, I strive to simplify the process and make it more cost-effective by offering out-of-court approaches to reach a resolution. My priority over the course of the entire process is to equip my clients with the information they need to feel safe, secure, and empowered to make wise choices as they navigate one of the most challenging times in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What I Help Clients Do:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create and follow a plan<\/strong> to get through the current crisis while also enabling you to build a positive future after divorce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make informed, well-reasoned choices<\/strong> that position you to succeed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Successfully achieve out-of-court solutions<\/strong> for complex property divisions, high conflict personality issues, and contested child custody matters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preserve dignity<\/strong> <strong>and a sense of security<\/strong> amid personal adversity, uncertainty, and turmoil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Professional Experience and Credentials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curtis W. Harrison has previously served as the managing partner for two law firms, including Goranson Bain Ausley, over a combined period of almost 20 years. Drawing upon his extensive educational and professional background in business administration, management, and finance, Curtis profoundly understands the intricate economic challenges and enduring pressures encountered by business proprietors, C-suite executives, and their spouses. Curtis applies his experience to help clients identify, prioritize, and achieve their strategic goals for the process, just as they would in their professional lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curtis has litigated cases around the state of Texas for almost 30 years. However, he has come to recognize the collateral harm caused by a judicial system that was designed to adjudicate winners and losers, not resolve family disputes. His goal is to help clients resolve their conflicts over property division and child custody constructively so that they can move forward with hope for a better future. Curtis practices family law as he strives to live \u2014 with honesty and integrity, working diligently to make a positive difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curtis is <a href=\"https:\/\/members.collaborativedivorcetexas.com\/member-services\/about-credentialing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master-credentialed<\/a> in the Collaborative Divorce approach and has published numerous articles on the advantages of the Collaborative Divorce model.
