Reasons to Choose Collaborative Family Law
Going through a divorce is emotionally and mentally difficult. As you and your spouse prepare to go separate ways, a million thoughts may be swirling through your head, making it harder to make important decisions. One thing to think about is the process you will choose to resolve all issues. Do you want an adversarial approach such as litigation and traditional negotiations, or do you want to be involved in a client-centered approach, which supports you and your family as you transition from together to separated?. Here are several reasons why you should choose a collaborative approach:
- By working with a team of collaborative professionals, mitigate the level of conflict that often develops during the divorce process.
- The collaborative team encourages and supports open communication between you and your spouse, so you are more likely to come to decisions that work well for everyone in your family.
- Instead of a judge deciding the fate of your family, you and your spouse retain control over how to resolve issues like parenting time, property division, etc.
- Litigation focuses on arguing about the past. A collaborative process focuses on the future and how you hope things will be better for your family in the future.
- A court process is a public process, so that the details of your divorce become public record. The collaborative process is a private process. Protection of the family’s privacy is an important feature of this approach.
- You will be supported by a team of lawyers, family professionals and financial professionals who have extensive experience in resolving family disputes and can help you make the most informed decisions possible as you negotiate the terms of your separation and divorce.
