Collaborative Divorce

 Divorce can be an emotionally challenging and financially draining experience for couples. Traditional litigated divorces (those in court) often exacerbate conflicts, leaving a trail of bitterness and resentment in their wake.

However, there is an alternative approach.

Collaborative divorce aims to promote cooperation, open communication, and a focus on finding mutually beneficial solutions.

How Does It Work?

Both spouses commit to resolving their differences outside of the courtroom through negotiation and mediation. Each spouse retains their own collaborative divorce attorney who guides them through the process. The attorneys, along with other professionals such as financial advisors and child specialists if needed, form a collaborative team dedicated to facilitating productive discussions and reaching agreements that meet the needs and concerns of both parties.

If either party wants to go to court during the process, the collaborative attorneys withdraw and both spouses must find new counsel.
