Collaborative Divorce is a way for couples to divorce without going to court. Collaborative Divorce resolves a divorce case with a process that assists the parties in to crafting the divorce settlement. The parties work together in a respectful way that protects their children and protect the family’s assets.

Collaborative Divorce is a private and confidential process. It provides the resources, structure and emotionally safe space needed for a divorcing couple arrive at a mutually-agreeable settlement–outside the eye of the public and outside of court.

Those options will be based on the goals of each party in the divorce. The financial neutral in a Collaborative Divorce case does not tell each party what to do, but to help the couple to understand their financial picture and to understand their individual post-divorce finances.
Collaborative Divorce is a more cost-effective and efficient process than a traditional divorce. It is a process that enables couples to invest directly in solutions rather than a costly litigated process. Collaborative Divorce is a better way to untie the knot.
