The tone you set for your divorce process will impact the decisions you make for you and your children. All too often, the culture of divorce promotes a battle for the battle’s sake. If everything is a battle, there will be battle scars. Collaborative Divorce rejects the battlefield and, instead, invites spouses to sit down, engage in meaningful and rational interest-based decision-making, and keep the needs of the adults and children front and center, so that all family members move ahead with a sense of security. Collaborative Divorce ensures that parties have access to appropriately trained collaborative attorneys, financial professionals, and family-dynamic specialists who work as a team to help adults focus on their needs and parents focus on the needs of their children. The process is at its best when both spouses commit to a mutual understanding of their children’s best interests and full disclosure of finances and material information. Collaborative Divorce is supportive, constructive, individuated and empowering.
