What is Collaborative Divorce
Collaborative divorce gives clients the option to settle their divorce in a way that may reduce the pain and suffering for both clients and children by avoiding formal and drawn-out court proceedings. A collaborative divorce may allow you to get on with your life without less collateral damage than traditional divorce proceedings.
Traditional divorce proceedings pit former spouses against each other as though they are engaging in an aggressive battle as adversaries and leaving both partners with emotional crushes and major legal bills. Grievances are aired in a public forum, making it difficult for either party to walk away with their own privacy or respect for the other party.
Unlike traditional divorce proceedings, collaborative divorce generally involves minimal court proceedings and seeks to balance the priorities of the whole family to achieve palatable solutions.
Advantages to Collaborative Divorce
- In contrast to mediation, both parties participating in a collaborative divorce are represented by a lawyer who can offer them a full range of options for resolving their specific issues.
- This type of divorce may have a greater chance for former spouses to leave the marriage without becoming adversaries, leaving them in a better position to parent their children and maintain civility.
- Collaborative divorces involve a team of people who bring relevant information to the table, which may include a divorce coach, child specialists, and a neutral financial advisor. These individuals allow clients to make rational and logical decisions about their future drawing on the experience and knowledge of specialists.
Why experience is important in this area of the law
When you pursue a collaborative divorce with a lawyer who has experience and knowledge regarding this legal area, they will work with the lawyer representing your spouse along with the rest of the chosen team to resolve issues regarding property division, child custody, visitation, and any other issues that need resolution. After these issues have been worked out in a way that weighs the interests of both the adults and children involved, the lawyers will draft the appropriate documents and file them..
At Rudd Law Firm, divorces without the collateral damage are a priority. The goal is to defend the interests of clients while respecting the needs of the other family members, allowing clients to complete their divorce while maintaining their privacy and respect whenever possible.
