The Collaborative divorce process begins with each spouse retaining an attorney who is specially trained in Collaborative Law. They meet with their attorneys in a series of four-way settlement conferences to resolve their issues and settle their case. Often, other divorce professionals such as financial consultants, mental health professionals, or child experts are included in the team. Each team member assists the family in their area of expertise and their recommendations are used to help the family reach an acceptable resolution.
The divorcing couple and their attorneys are required to sign a contract in which they agree not to take the case to court. They must commit to provide full and fair disclosure of all financial information and must exhibit mutual respect and honesty.
Divorce is never easy but there is a way to get through it with minimal damage so that you can move on to a brighter future.
