Our Story
Livesay Law Office, LLC is focused on out-of-court settlement using primarily Collaborative family law, mediation, and cooperative settlement, as well as appellate work. Collaborative Practice pays attention to the relationships within families and calls on each party and their attorney to bring their best selves to the process. By doing so, participants can be mindful of each party’s needs and desires when deciding how best to end the marriage, divide property, redefine the family, and begin new lives. The collaborative process helps individuals make better decisions about their futures, create longer lasting and mutually acceptable settlements, and minimize the emotional and financial cost of divorce. I know that divorcing couples, and their children, who use the collaborative process walk away stronger and in a better position emotionally, financially and relationally than if they took the adversarial route.
Ms. Livesay provides a one hour consultation at no cost, often with both parties, to discuss their options and inform them about the value of using the Collaborative process. Her main office is in St. Paul and she also has an office presence in Edina at the Collaborative Alliance at 3300 Edinborough Way, Suite 550.
She is committed to making thedivorce transition respectful and dignified. In addition to divorce and post-divorce matters, Ms. Livesay has experience using the Collaborative process in matters such as paternity, third-party custody, antenuptial agreements and GLBT separations, and other family law matters.
