What is Collaborative Divorce?

In Collaborative Divorce, families facing divorce come together outside the courtroom in an effort to reach the most beneficial solution for all involved. Through this alternative to litigation, families are supported at each step as they consider how to approach their new future. Each individual’s voice is heard; each person’s needs are considered; and paramount to the collaborative process are the needs of any children who will be affected by the decisions made.

Collaborative Divorce requires an agreement to settle out of court. If this appears impossible at any time during the process, then the lawyers involved step aside and refer the family to trial attorneys.
