Collaborative Divorce: The New Alternative

More and more married couples are deciding to choose collaborative divorce, rather than the traditional litigated model.  Couples are finally realizing that the way to resolve their differences can be better served by working together to reach an agreement that works for their family rather than litigating their issues in court.  In the collaborative process, the children and the relationships between the parties is the primary concern and the need to preserve the new separated family.  The couples also work with financial and mental health experts who assist them in the division of assets and with issues involving the children, such as telling the children that the family dynamic is changing.
