Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative Divorce helps couples negotiate a divorce settlement that is obtained in a healthy non-destructive manner. Collaborative Divorce allows a couple to divorce without having to involve the courts. In a collaborative divorce each spouse has their own attorney. The spouse and each of their attorneys meet together to resolve any disputes and to create a marital settlement agreement that meets the needs of both spouses. This process is based on collaboration between the spouses and the attorneys.

In a collaborative divorce each spouse remains in control of the divorce process. The courts cannot take over the process. The attorneys cannot take over the process. Collaborative law attorneys are trained in helping people resolve conflicts without the threat or use of court action.
