Collaborative divorce is a process whereby divorcing individuals are each represented by their attorney. Each party and each attorney make a formal commitment to resolve the parties' differences outside of court intervention through a series of settlement conferences. The process is cooperative in nature and the focus is on creative problem-solving as a team in a private and a less threatening venue than litigation. The collaborative process can also incorporate the use of therapists, accountants, financial planners, as well as coaches based upon the needs and desires of the parties.

Why Choose Collaborative Divorce

• Cost-effective alternative to litigation
• Private
• Individual legal representation
• Creative problem-solving
• Facilitates mutual respect, common goals, and communication
