Collaborative Law
Collaborative Divorce TeamsFor a divorce with privacy, dignity, and control Collaborative Divorce teams consist typically of two mental health professionals working as coaches, a child development specialist, and a financial specialist (typically a certified financial planner or C.P.A. with Certified Divorce Planner credential). These professionals are specially trained to work effectively as a team with the collaborative lawyers selected by the divorcing spouses. Use of the Collaborative Divorce team resource usually leads to more efficient and economical gathering of financial information, reduction of anxiety about limited financial resources during the divorce process, higher quality generation of alternative financial scenarios for settlement, improved communication skills at the collaborative legal table, better and more cost-contained resources for handling emotional conflicts during the divorce, higher-quality solutions for shared parenting after the divorce, better focus on the needs of children, and cost- efficient utilization of the most appropriate professional for the problem. Time, money, and emotional resources are conserved when Collaborative Divorce teams participate in the divorce process, and results are enhanced.
