March 11, 2010 The McCourt Divorce Most Expensive Ever
If Jamie and Frank McCourt had chosen to navigate their divorce through the collaborative process instead of litigation, they could be saving a bundle. The Los Angeles Times last week reported that their divorce could be the most expensive ever, with attorneys and expert fees costing up to 19 million. If the couple chose a collaborative divorce, they could put together an awesome team of collaborative attorneys, coaches and financial experts, and save most of that 19 million.

March 8, 2010 Question of the day
What is the difference between Mediated Divorce and Collaborative Divorce?
In mediation, a neutral facilitator directs husband and wife through all stages of their family law process, assisting them to reach agreement on each issue.
In collaborative divorce, both husband and wife obtain their own collaborative counsel plus the guidance and support of other team members including mental health professionals, a child specialist, and a financial consultant. Additionally, the process begins by the couple and their attorneys executing the collaborative contract, not to litigate in court.
