A Collaborative Divorce allows each spouse to retain a lawyer trained in the collaborative process. Other professionals can be added to the collaborative team if needed, such as a financial professional, and a mental health professional. They serve as neutral team members.
This collaborative process opens the power of creativity to finding custom solutions. The law is always discussed and outlined so the spouses clearly understand their rights. With that knowledge as their base, the team can work both inside and outside the law to create options that are tailored to the needs of the couple or family.
