At The Family Law Group, we offer the Collaborative Divorce process as a non-adversarial, private, and client-centered approach to ending a marriage. This method focuses on cooperation and support, allowing couples to avoid litigation while resolving issues such as property division, child custody, and spousal support.
What is Collaborative Divorce?
Collaborative divorce allows couples to work with their attorneys and neutral experts, such as financial advisors, divorce coaches, and child specialists, to reach fair solutions. This transparent process encourages open communication and fosters an atmosphere of trust and collaboration. The court is only involved to finalize the dissolution, keeping the majority of the process private.
Why Choose Collaborative Divorce?
- Preserve Relationships: This method is designed to minimize conflict, promoting effective communication—particularly beneficial for families with children.
- Create a Collaborative Team: Work with not only your attorneys but also neutral experts who help craft solutions that address your family’s needs.
- Maintain Control: Couples maintain control of the outcome rather than relying on court rulings.
- Privacy: The entire process remains confidential, unlike traditional litigation, which becomes public record.
Benefits of Collaborative Divorce
- Interest-based negotiations, similar to mediation, are used to ensure long-term cooperation.
- All information is shared transparently, with trust promoted through non-adversarial engagement.
- The process encourages a respectful transition, helping both parties make informed decisions about their finances and children.
Drawbacks of Collaborative Divorce
- Either party can terminate the process and pursue litigation at any time.
- If the process fails, both parties must retain new attorneys, which may result in additional legal fees.
