Collaborative Divorce Basics<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In conventional divorce cases, spouses often view each other\nas opponents or enemies, which can set the tone for a challenging and\ncontentious divorce process. In contrast, collaborative divorce is a non-adversarial,\nout-of-court approach to legally ending a marriage. It places the focus on finding\nsolutions for family legal issues, rather than accusations and provocation,\nwhich helps achieve a mutual settlement without litigating. Overall, it tends\nto make the divorce process easier and produce a more positive outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Collaborative Law Process<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the collaborative divorce process, the divorcing couple\nworks as a “collaborative team” alongside a single collaborative\ndivorce lawyer who represents them both. In a safe and constructive environment,\neveryone works together to devise a divorce plan that is equally satisfying and\nfair to each spouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to getting started, a written agreement is drawn up\nand signed by both parties in the presence of their lawyer to mark their\npromise to use trust and fairness when negotiating a resolution, and to\ndisclose all information and documents relevant to their case. Once all divorce\narrangements are agreed upon, both parties enter into a comprehensive and\nlegally-binding written agreement that authenticates the details of the divorce\nand settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people confuse divorce mediation with collaborative divorce since they are both forms of alternative dispute resolution. Although they are similar negotiation approaches, they are quite different. See our blog, \u201cThe Difference Between Mediation and Collaborative Divorce<\/a>\u201d to learn more about alternatives to dispute resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Collaborative Divorce<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are various benefits to collaborative divorce, which\nis why it is becoming more and more popular in the legal field. Not only does\ncollaborative divorce support and promote an ultimate resolution, it usually\nrenders one quickly. Furthermore, divorcing collaboratively can save on legal\nfees since you share one collaborative divorce lawyer. Best of all,\ncollaborating your divorce will spare you from stress and bitterness, and also protect\nyour children from being exposed to the dramas of divorce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Making the Decision…<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Although collaborative divorce has several benefits, it is\nnot for everyone. It is important to discuss your divorce questions with a\nseasoned divorce attorney who can give you the information and counsel you need\nto make an informed decision. Keep in mind that, once the collaborative divorce\nprocess begins, if one spouse decides to pursue litigation rather than continue\nwith collaboration, the shared collaborative lawyer will have to resign, and\nboth spouses will have to retain new and separate representation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
