Collaborative Divorce

Each spouse has their own attorney, but everyone commits to resolving issues cooperatively — no courtroom threats.

How Collaborative Divorce Works

Step 1

Each spouse selects a collaboratively-trained attorney. Both sides sign a participation agreement committing to settle out of court.

Step 2

Four-way meetings with both spouses and attorneys, plus financial specialists and child experts as needed.

Step 3

The team drafts a comprehensive settlement agreement covering all issues, ready for court approval.

Each spouse has their own attorney plus access to neutral financial and child specialists.

The team approach generates options a judge would never consider, leading to better outcomes for both parties.

Everyone commits to good-faith negotiation, preserving relationships and reducing emotional harm to children.
