How Does Collaborative Divorce Work?

Collaborative divorce is a voluntary process. Both spouses must agree to participate in the process. If one spouse decides to go to court, the collaborative divorce process will end, and the couple will have to start over with a traditional divorce case.

Each spouse will have their own attorney who is trained in the collaborative divorce process. The attorneys will help their clients negotiate a settlement agreement that resolves all of the issues in their divorce case. The attorneys will also help their clients understand the legal implications of the settlement agreement.

Collaborative divorce is a private process. The couple will not have to go to court, and their settlement agreement will not become a matter of public record. This can be an important consideration for couples who want to keep their personal and financial information private.

It is also generally less expensive and time-consuming than traditional divorce litigation. The couple will not have to go to court, and they will not have to wait for a court date. They can work at their own pace to negotiate a settlement agreement that works for them.

What Issues Can Be Resolved in a Collaborative Divorce?

Collaborative divorce can be used to resolve all of the issues in a divorce case, including:

• Property division
• Debt division
• Spousal support
• Child custody
• Child support

Collaborative divorce can also be used to resolve post-divorce issues, such as modifications to child custody or support orders. It can also be used to resolve disputes over the enforcement of a divorce decree.

What Is the Difference Between Collaborative Divorce and Mediation?

Collaborative divorce and mediation are both alternative dispute resolution methods that can be used to resolve divorce cases. However, there are some key differences between the two processes.

In a collaborative divorce, each spouse will have their own attorney who is trained in the collaborative divorce process. The attorneys will help their clients negotiate a settlement agreement that resolves all of the issues in their divorce case. The attorneys will also help their clients understand the legal implications of the settlement agreement.

In a mediation, the couple will work with a neutral third party who is trained in the mediation process. The mediator will help the couple negotiate a settlement agreement that resolves all of the issues in their divorce case. The mediator will not provide legal advice to either spouse. However, the couple can choose to have their own attorneys present during the mediation process.

Collaborative divorce is generally less adversarial and more cooperative than mediation. The couple will work together to resolve their issues, rather than fighting in court. Collaborative divorce is also generally less expensive and time-consuming than mediation. The couple will not have to go to court, and they will not have to wait for a court date.

How Much Does a Collaborative Divorce Cost?

The cost of a collaborative divorce will depend on a variety of factors, including the complexity of the issues in the case and the willingness of the couple to work together to resolve their issues. However, collaborative divorce is generally less expensive than traditional divorce litigation.
