Mediation and collaborative divorce are alternative dispute resolution processes that allow divorcing couples to maintain a respectful relationship with their spouse throughout the divorce and post-divorce process. Couples who choose the collaborative divorce process set themselves up for successful co-parenting and a positive future. Unlike a protracted litigated case, this approach helps them avoid the lasting scars of legal battles and, even worse, going to trial.
Why allow a judge to determine who gets custody of your children and when you can see them? When there are child custody issues, the collaborative divorce process includes a mental health professional who works with the parents to work out a reasonable parenting plan that is in the child’s best interest and addresses both parents’ preferences.
