What is
Collaborative Divorce?
 Collaborative
divorce provides the benefits of attorney assistance
while avoiding the negative atmosphere of
litigation.
In the
collaborative divorce process, the parties each
retain
attorneys with training in non-adversarial, conflict
resolution.
Collaboratively
trained coaches (communication specialists,
mediators and/or mental health professionals) are
also part of the team. Financial specialists,
mortgage brokers and real estate agents participate
in the process, as needed.
Instead of going
to court to litigate the issues of custody,
parenting time, spousal maintenance and property
division, the parties and their supporting
professionals meet in a series of conferences to
make better decisions in the best interest of the
family.
Research shows that
the most creative solutions for parents and children
are generated in a non-adversarial atmosphere.
