Collaborative Divorce: An Alternative Approach for Your Family’s Transition
Collaborative
Collaborative divorce is a voluntary process designed to resolve your family’s transition to two households in a family-focused and more amicable way. For couples who need and desire a healthy working relationship after a divorce the traditional approach may have long-lasting negative consequences. As an alternative, collaborative divorce is a process that promotes healthier relationships between divorcing couples during and after the divorce.
Collaborative Divorce was established by attorneys frustrated with traditional court-focused divorces that can be seen to reward one spouse over another and encourage winner-takes-all positions. The collaborative process is done privately outside of the courts by professionals trained to resolve the kind of disputes that often arise in divorce.
In a collaborative divorce, both parties work together with a professional divorce coach. The divorce coach serves in a neutral capacity and is skilled in finding common ground and helping couples resolve competing priorities. The divorce coach is not a judge and cannot dictate outcomes; rather the coach works with the couple to determine the best solution.
Attorneys are an important part of the collaborative divorce process and your Shaw Law Group attorney will still be there to ensure you are treated fairly throughout the entire process.
