Collaborative Divorce

 

Have you thought about divorcing with dignity, not spending money on court proceedings and being able to put down some guide lines for the future?

Collaborative Divorce may be the perfect  solution for you. It strives to resolve your family issues during divorce or separation without the awful emotional rollercoaster of court proceedings.

This way of divorcing collaboratively was first pioneered by a Minnesotta lawyer, Stu Webb. He worked in the divorce industry for many years with growing frustration before he came up with the collaborative model.

The thing I like about collaborative practice is that there is more than one model you can chose and more than one divorce professional to handle all your needs.

The professionals are your lawyer who works openly with the other lawyer and professionals. You can also contract a collaborative coach to help you with the emotional ups and downs of the process. A collaborative financial expert can be called in to help you as a couple work out how to fund the divorce and financial obligations, including the division of assets. The other collaborative expert in a team model is a children expert who acts as the voice of the children throughout the process.

When you decide to go the collaborative route together you agree:

  1. Negotiate a mutually  acceptable settlement without having courts decide issues.
  2. Maintain open communication and share information.
  3. Focus on the best interests of the children’s and family’s needs.

Collaborative divorce is not for everyone and both parties have to be committed to the idea for the process to work.

But if you are having difficulty coming to an agreement and would prefer the no court option then this may be the thing you are looking for.

You can find collaborative professionals in most areas these days, use your search engines to check it out.
