How We Can Help
Collaborative divorce was first introduced in 1990 as a means to reduce the arguments and disagreements that arise because of traditional divorces. Lawyers work with the spouses in order to advise and represent their needs through the collaborative divorce process, but agree not to litigate any future family-law needs.
The collaborative divorce is built around adherence to a participation agreement, which both spouses sign. The agreement usually states:
- The attorneys facilitating the collaborative divorce will not litigate the case if the collaboration process fails
- Neither side will take advantage of the other
- All important information will be disclosed to both sides
- Relevant experts are neutral
- Everything said in the meetings is confidential
For many people, the collaborative divorce is the best way to ensure that everyone’s needs are met and everyone’s opinions are heard. The collaborative divorce process has been shown to be effective, less expensive, and less emotionally painful than regular divorces.
