March 10, 2010 Divorce Question and Answer of the Day
What is the difference between Collaborative Divorce and Amicable Divorce?
In Collaborative Divorce, each spouse is represented by a collaborative attorney. The couple and their respective collaborative counsel enter into the collaborative agreement not to litigate in court. Additionally, mental health and financial professionals are engaged as part of the collaborative team.
In amicable divorce there is no written agreement that restricts court litigation. Thus, litigation is always a possibility if the spouses and their attorneys are unable to resolve all the issues. Additionally, the litigation attorney(s) are not generally trained in peacemaking techniques. Although third party professionals may be brought into an amicable divorce, there is no commitment to do so as in the collaborative process.

What is the difference between Mediated Divorce and Amicable Divorce?
In mediation, the neutral facilitator does not represent either husband or wife as their attorney. Since neither spouse is represented, both parties are generally encouraged by the mediator to consult with an attorney.
In amicable divorce, both parties, or just one spouse, retains a family law attorney to represent their individual interests.
