In a collaborative divorce, each spouse has their own attorney—but unlike in traditional litigation, these attorneys are not adversaries. Instead, they are trained in collaborative law and committed to helping both parties reach a fair and respectful resolution without going to court.
Your collaborative attorney is your advocate and advisor throughout the process. They help you:
- Understand your legal rights and responsibilities.
- Clarify what’s most important to you—whether that’s financial security, parenting time, or preserving a cooperative relationship with your co-parent.
- Navigate complex decisions with confidence and informed judgment.
- Speak up in meetings when emotions may make it difficult to express your needs.
While the process emphasizes cooperation, your attorney is there to ensure your voice is heard and your interests are protected every step of the way.
Like Mediation, You Can Work As Quickly Or As Slowly As You Need
If you decide that you want a collaborative divorce you will need to let your spouse know about the collaborative process so he or she can talk with and hire a specially trained attorney. When you meet with me, I can advise you about how you can start that conversation.
