When choosing a family law attorney, it is important to consider whether they have extensive experience in collaborative and mediation cases. It is also important to know if the attorney is accessible via phone or email. This will be especially helpful if you have an emergency or need to schedule an appointment outside of office hours.

The collaborative divorce process involves a team of professionals who are specially trained to help couples reach mutually satisfactory solutions in divorce matters. In addition to each spouse’s respective divorce attorneys, the team may consist of a child specialist who will assist in creating a parenting plan that is in your children’s best interests, financial specialists who will gather and analyze financial information, and mental health professionals who will help both parties separate facts from emotions and reach a compromise regarding complex legal and emotional issues.

While collaborative divorce is typically much less adversarial than litigation, there are still some risks associated with this type of divorce. For example, if the team cannot reach agreement on all divorce-related issues, both parties will be disqualified from participating in the collaborative process and each will have to hire a new lawyer to represent them as they proceed into a contested divorce trial.

One advantage of collaborative divorce is that it is usually shorter and less expensive than divorce through litigation. Additionally, the process is generally more private than a traditional trial because it takes place outside of the courtroom.

The downside of a collaborative divorce is that it can be more complicated and time consuming than traditional divorce. It also requires more of a commitment from both spouses because the team must meet regularly in person.

While there are pros and cons to both divorce methods, collaboration is the preferred method for many people because it is less stressful and more efficient than traditional divorce. The collaborative divorce process is particularly useful for those who want to minimize conflict, preserve their relationships, and avoid lengthy, drawn-out court battles.
