Collaborative Divorce Family Professional Services
Collaborative Divorce Family Professional Services (Family and Child Specialist) - Did you know there is an alternative method of dissolving a marriage instead of traditional divorce litigation? You don’t have to get caught in the exchange of demands and accusations in traditional adversarial divorces. A collaborative divorce is a viable option if you and your spouse agree to cooperate mutually, problem-solve, and disclose all information and documents pertinent to the issues. In collaborative divorce, all decisions relevant to the dissolution of the marriage occurs outside of the courtroom. Thus, both parties retain the power to make decisions in a safe, confidential atmosphere with collaboratively trained professionals. Each party will have its collaborative attorney to provide legal advice. The neutral family and financial professionals are also there to add fairness, transparency, and truth to the process. As your family professional, I will bring peace, understanding, organization, and process innovation to the team.
