The word “divorce” often conjures images of stone-faced couples in a courtroom showdown. While some divorces can be a lengthy and painful legal duel, some processes exist to make divorce a smoother, more civil process. One legal solution for an amicable divorce is collaborative divorce.
Collaborative divorce is a legal process designed to help couples sort out the major details of their divorce without having to have a formal legal battle in front of a judge. Collaborative divorce works through a combination of mediation and negotiation. The collaborative divorce process seeks to settle major areas of contention such as:
The key part of a collaborative divorce is the cooperation of both spouses. If either spouse is unable or unwilling to compromise on the things that they want out of the divorce, a collaborative solution will not be possible. Attorneys will still be present for a collaborative divorce, but they should specialize in alternative dispute resolution like mediation so they don’t rush to place every point of issue in front of a judge to rule on.
