Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative divorce is a process that allows couples who have made the decision to divorce to do so without engaging in a contentious court process.  This concept is gaining popularity with couples of all ages who don’t want the emotional or financial impact of protracted court battles, but who need help to resolve their complex or difficult situations in the divorce process. 

Collaborative Divorce engages the couple, their attorneys, and a team of selected professionals to help the family through a divorce without the threat of litigation.   

This voluntary process is initiated when each party hires an attorney who is trained in collaborative law. They then enter into a  contract with each other  and their attorneys, binding them to a process of fair, respectful divorce where the parties take responsibility for their own resolution without resorting to asking a judge to decide the issues in your case.

The process incorporates advice from a team of experts, including parenting specialists, financial consultants, mental health professionals and others. These professionals offer multiple options to the couple for consideration and discussion as they work towards finalizing their divorce within a collaborative framework.
