A popular divorce misconception is that you need to fight aggressively to secure the most assets in order to get a fair result. However, fighting can leave both spouses with more stress and fewer resources left at the end of the process. Collaborating peacefully can offer many benefits.
Keep the peace and mutual respect
Divorce does not have to be a bitter battle between two opposing sides. By minimizing the duration, costs and conflicts in the divorce, collaboration can help reduce your stress overall.
Many families find that approaching divorce with a cooperative mindset gives them a better opportunity to create a stronger healthier arrangement. We help you to reach an outcome that you believe is truly fair and preserves their dignity.
Give children a positive experience
Divorce affects the entire family which means that the benefits of collaboration can also serve your children. Parents can use collaborative divorce to reach a healthy coparenting strategy that matches everyone’s needs and preferences. By keeping conflicts low, collaboration can help both parents establish a positive foundation for their children.Â
Divorce efficiently on your own terms
Instead of leaving your future in the hands of the court through a long, expensive trial, the collaborative divorce process gives you maximum flexibility while keeping the costs under your control. You can choose your own outcomes for property division and other important matters, and your divorce will stay private – unlike a trial, which makes your information public.
