Collaborative Divorces

Not all marriages work out. Infatuation fades, lifestyles are different, opinions differ, and financial issues can lead to divorce. Despite popular opinion, not all divorces are hostile or go to court. There are instances of collaborative divorce. A collaborative divorce is a divorce process that allows couples to negotiate and agree on all terms of the divorce with the assistance of mediators and divorce lawyers. This only works if both parties are willing to participate. Together, you will work out the division of debt, child custody, division of assets, and who keeps the family pet(s). These types of divorces typically lead to outcomes that leave both parties more satisfied than if handled by a judge.
