How Does Collaborative Divorce Work in Family Law?

Collaborative law refers to the process of removing disputes from the "fight and win" setting of a courtroom into a "troubleshoot and problem solve" setting of negotiations. For more information on this and divorce in general, see FindLaw's section on How to Divorce.

Contrary to popular belief, not all divorces involve mud-slinging and arguments in court. If you and your spouse are willing to negotiate the terms of your divorce, you may benefit from the collaborative divorce process.

Going through a divorce is extremely difficult and confusing often. Divorces are not easy things to go through. There are many different emotions that both parties are going through, lots of court dates, time, and costs.
