Collaborative Divorce

Each of you is represented by a specially trained collaborative divorce attorney. Both attorneys, along with other members of your chosen team work cooperatively.

 

As a key part of your team, each of you also hires a specially trained collaborative divorce coach. Most couples quickly see their coaches as the most valuable and innovative tool in the collaborative divorce process. Your coach expertly assists each of you to successfully negotiate the emotional minefield of divorce. In the end, you not only feel better, more confident and hopeful, but the way has been cleared for the legal and financial experts to do their part of the job most quickly and effectively.

 

In collaborative divorce, each of you agrees to cooperate and make full use of the resources you've hired. A significant incentive to do so is that failure to cooperative rarely, but on occasion results in the team withdrawing, requiring a couple to start over from scratch. This may sound severe, but it is time tested integral part of this structured process that serves the final outcome which you both want to reach. All the trained professionals involved know that without full cooperation, the process doesn't work.

 

Collaborative expertise includes the commitment and skill to maintain that necessary cooperation between everyone involved in your case.

 

You and your spouse remain in control of the process. Each of you has a coach and a lawyer who are your advocates and are always available whenever you need extra support. The two of you make all the decisions with the help of your team of trained experts. The judge is a merely the final tool who simply approves and signs the agreements you've crafted. Although more costly than divorce mediation, you will still spend much less money than you would in a wretching litigated divorce.
