Collaborative Divorce is Intentional & Open

Collaborative divorce does not simply mean “we’ll work it out together.” Crossing you fingers and wishing this would go amicably. Collaborative divorce brings legal certainty and commitment to that good-spirited aspiration. It leads with fairness and facts. It puts your kids first. It looks at your family and financial situation with a level of expertise and depth that a typical court process would skim over.

This is a very specific legal process and type of divorce resolution. You and your ex mutually agree to sign a contract that says you will not go to court. Instead, you resolve to deal with this in a collaborative way by engaging a team of professionals and experts. 

Your attorneys, financial representatives, child specialists, and others will all be talking to each other. It’s an open and intentional process focused on fair agreements. If Gwyneth Paltrow had attorney chops, she might call it “conscious uncoupling on a legal paradigm.”

This can be less expensive and less time-consuming than going to court. This a more private and emotionally easier way to make it through your divorce. Importantly, this puts you and your ex-partner in control of the settlement instead of a judge who will only know you for a few hours.
