However, at CCD we encourage you to negotiate your agreements with the assistance of our professionals to help with the emotional, parenting, financial or legal aspects of your divorce, and then use a Paralegal for document preparation. Mediation Mediation is best suited for simple to complex situations where the couple is willing to participate with a third party to reach agreements, even if one or both parties may have some reluctance or uncertainty at the start. In this process, a Mediator meets with the parties and helps facilitate their communication to negotiate final agreements. Other CCD professionals may be used on an as-needed basis such as financial consultants, consulting attorneys, or therapists to help address your financial, emotional, parenting or legal concerns. Collaborative Attorneys Collaborative attorneys are best suited for moderate to complex situations where at least one of the parties is unable to participate in negotiation without representation.
Collaboration is an alternative to the destructive and costly adversarial litigious process.
In this process, each party is represented separately by their collaborative attorney in the negotiation and preparation of agreements. At CCD, our attorneys collaborate with each other and the parties to create agreements that meet the best interests of the family, outside of court. The Coalition for Collaborative Divorce.
