Collaborative Divorce: A Better Way Forward for Families

Collaborative Divorce is a private way for couples to divorce.

Each spouse hires an attorney trained in the collaborative process to help them reach an agreement. A neutral financial professional and mental health professional may also work with the spouses to help them reach an agreement.

Agreements can be reached in 3 to 9 months. After a final agreement is signed, the lawyers file the paperwork necessary to get the divorce approved by the court while maintaining the family’s privacy.

Collaborative Divorce offers:

• Privacy: What’s talked about during this process stays private; unlike filing for divorce before reaching an agreement, the details of your family and finances cannot be seen by the public.
• Control: The team will help you reach an agreement that is tailored to the needs of both spouses and the children.
• Speed and Reduced Cost: Collaborative Divorce usually finishes faster and costs less than going to court.
• Planning Your Future: Collaborative Divorce provides tools for effective co-parenting and reduces future litigation.
