Collaborative Divorce

For some couples and families, the traditional divorce model can be a poor fit for their situation, either because they have previously decided how they’d like to structure their divorce and their lives after divorce, or because they’d like to avoid a courtroom and litigation altogether. Collaborative divorce can be an ideal alternative to those who are looking for a transparent, mutually beneficial divorce.
The collaborative model typically involves more than just attorneys for each of the parties. From the outset, both parties must agree with their attorneys to pursue a Collaborative track. From that point forward, depending on your needs, an attorney may suggest including a financial professional, Collaborative Divorce Facilitator, child specialist, real estate agents, or others to consult on the divorce proceedings. The key to a collaborative divorce is that you, not a judge, decide what is fair, and because both parties have to agree, most of collaborative divorce agreements provide a long-term roadmap for life after divorce.
