What Is It and How Can It Benefit You?
If your marriage isn’t working, but you want to dissolve the relationship as amicably as possible, consider using the collaborative divorce process to resolve your differences. A relatively recent development in the law, the collaborative divorce process typically minimizes the time and the expense of a marital dissolution. The experienced attorneys at DTX Family Law can help.
What Is the Collaborative Divorce Process?
The collaborative divorce process seeks to settle all matters related to a divorce without the intervention of the court. When the parties agree to use the collaborative process, they agree to work cooperatively (with their attorneys) to find mutually beneficial solutions without involvement from the judge. The parties will often bring in outside experts, including child psychologists and financial planners, to find workable solutions. The parties also agree that, if they can’t resolve their differences without going to court, they will hire new counsel to handle the proceedings in court.
How Effective Is the Collaborative Divorce Process?
According to research conducted by the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, 94% of persons who used the collaborative divorce process came to a satisfactory settlement. Furthermore, almost 80% of participants in the study said they were very satisfied with the process. Among the features that participants liked were:
- The level of privacy it fosters
- The opportunity to express yourself without recrimination
- The degree of cooperation involved in the process
