Is Collaborative Divorce Right for Me?
Unlike a litigated divorce, Collaborative Divorce is less confrontational and focuses on the needs of the couple and their children. If you’re thinking that a Collaborative Divorce may be the right choice for your family to get through one of life’s most difficult transitions, start by considering the following:
- Do you and your spouse want to maintain control over the decisions about your family and your divorce, not a judge?
- Are you willing to prioritize the children and meet everyone’s needs rather than winning (or losing)?
- Could you or your spouse benefit from help in developing a peaceful and healthy co-parenting relationship or healthy parenting plan after divorce?
- Are you and your spouse concerned about protecting your privacy and keeping your details out of court and off the public record?
- Would it be beneficial to include a financial professional in your divorce?
- Can you and your spouse abide by the agreements you in the process?
- Do you want to end your marriage in a civil and respectful way?
Collaborative Divorce is an alternative to the adversarial divorce process, a team approach that resolves disputes without going to court. In the Collaborative Divorce process, you are in control. Family stress is reduced and professional time is used more efficiently, often resulting in lower costs and quicker results.
