As a result, we offer a collaborative divorce option that can help save you money while keeping your stress levels low.

Collaborative Divorce vs. Traditional Divorce

Collaborative divorce is an option that allows you to work with your spouse to reach an agreement on all divorce-related issues, including property division, child custody, and support, without going to court. If you have a high net worth or substantial assets, or if the issues in your case are particularly complex, a collaborative divorce may be your best option.

In a collaborative divorce, you and your spouse work with a divorce professional to reach an agreement on all divorce-related issues. You and your spouse must also be able to communicate effectively, be reasonable, and be willing to compromise. If you and your spouse are able to work together, a collaborative divorce may be right for you.

How Does a Collaborative Divorce Work?

Collaborative divorces are facilitated by a mediator who helps to guide both parties through the collaborative divorce process. Collaborative divorces generally proceed in the following way:

• You and your spouse agree to participate in a collaborative divorce
• You and your spouse meet with a collaborative divorce professional to discuss your options
• You and your spouse decide whether to proceed with a collaborative divorce
• If you and your spouse decide to proceed with a collaborative divorce, you will meet with a collaborative divorce professional to draft an agreement of settlement
• You and your spouse will then sign the agreement of settlement, which will be filed with the court

It is important to note that, unlike with a traditional divorce, you and your spouse are not required to go to court to finalize the divorce if you proceed with a collaborative divorce. Additionally, you and your spouse are not required to have an attorney during a collaborative divorce, though you may wish to hire one to advise you on any financial matters.

Collaborative Divorce Benefits

Collaborative divorces offer a number of benefits, including:

• Lower cost
• Fewer legal issues
• Less time in court

If you and your spouse are able to work together, a collaborative divorce could be the ideal option for you.
