What is Collaborative Divorce?
The collaborative divorce is a court-free way of getting divorced. In a collaborative divorce, you do not need to appear before a judge. Instead, both spouses work together with a team of professionals – including attorneys, therapists, and financial experts – to settle all aspects of the divorce by written agreement. It's a team approach to divorce using a friendly and collaborative process that keeps you in control of your future, and maintains what is most important: family, emotional health, finances, and privacy.
The process consists of a series of meetings between the interested parties to reach an agreement that is in the best interest of all interested parties, including the children. During a collaborative dissolution, the parties have more control over the process, as they are involved in the decision making each step of the way. Instead of litigating the matter and putting life changing decisions in the hands of a judge, the parties make the decisions that will determine their life after divorce. As such, you decide what is best for your family, not a judge who doesn't know your family.
