Collaborative Divorce

Divorce can be a difficult and stressful time in your life. Everything that goes into a divorce can become very emotionally charged, making it difficult to keep a level head. This makes things far more difficult than they need to be. It is important to know in difficult times like these that you have options.

Having a good attorney help you through a divorce can be a great help. Your attorney can also explain all of your options to you. One of your options when divorcing is to do a collaborative divorce. This is becoming a very popular method for couples to come to agreements on the issues of their divorces.

A collaborative divorce involves a negotiation between the two parties of the divorce. This negotiation is mediated by attorneys who are trained in mediation and the process of collaborative divorce. There may also be neutral third party experts such as financial specialists present. Both parties make their own decisions based not only on their own needs and interests, but also based on complete information with professional support.

If the collaborative divorce process ends without agreement, the lawyers on the case are disqualified from representing the parties under a different type of divorce. Documents and other information exchanged during the collaborative divorce process are also disqualified from being used in further legal proceedings.
