Collaborative Practice is a new way to think about divorce. It is for couples whose marriage is no longer working, but who want to end their marriage in a respectful, decent manner. Collaborative Divorce is for people who wish to retain control over their divorce.
In a Collaborative Divorce each party has his or her own attorney, but the parties and attorneys work together to find creative solutions for parenting and economic problems raised by divorce.
Collaborative Divorce lawyers advise and guide their clients, gather all necessary financial information, and lead the couple to a negotiated settlement. Even when issues are not easily resolved, the next step is “Let’s look for another way to solve this problem that we both can live with,” rather than “See you in court!”
Collaborative Divorce keeps personal decisions in the hands of the family. It abandons the myth that a Judge can solve problems better than divorcing couples—who have the most at risk and the most to lose. It’s the parties who know and care the most about their own family. Collaborative Divorce creates solutions that benefit families and minimize the destructive impact of a contested divorce.
