What is the best method for our Divorce?

Generally the Collaborative Divorce process is best suited to handle divorces where there are many alternatives in regards to the division of property, in regards to the creation of a parenting plan that is best for the children, and where communication between the parties can be improved by the team coaches.

Generally the Mediated Divorce process is best suited to handle less complex divorces, undisputed custody arrangements, and to work with couples who trust and will not threaten one another.

Generally the Amicable Divorce process is best suited to handle divorces where one of the parties does not wish to retain an attorney, or the other spouse has already retained a litigation attorney but prefers to settle out of court.

Since the decision as to which method to employ must be treated on a case by case basis, it is wise to discuss your situation first with a competent professional.

What are the advantages of Collaborative Divorce?

Each spouse has an attorney who has been specially trained in peacemaking and the collaborative process.

Each spouse has a mental health professional (coach) to help them through the emotional part of the divorce and to improve communication with the other spouse.

A child specialist allows the children to have a voice in the process and assists the parents in making a parenting plan that is in the children’s best interest.

A financial specialist helps to provide informed and creative ways to divide the property, debts, and to provide support for the two new households.

Entering into the collaborative contract helps to ensure the spouses’ commitment to resolve their divorce peacefully and out of court.

The collaborative process fosters mutual respect and the exchange of information which help husband and wife to make superior decisions in resolving the issues of their divorce.
