Collaborative Divorce is a respectful and solution-focused process where both spouses commit to resolving their divorce outside of the courtroom. Rather than engaging in litigation, the couple works together through a series of joint meetings to thoughtfully create a parenting plan and reach a fair and mutually agreed-upon division of assets and debts.

Each spouse is represented by their own attorney and supported by a team of neutral professionals. A shared financial specialist helps guide the couple through financial decisions, while a neutral mental health professional offers support around parenting and communication—ensuring both emotional and practical needs are met.

Although more professionals may be involved, legal resources are used more efficiently, with a focus on cooperation rather than conflict. Most importantly, Collaborative Divorce keeps decisions in the hands of the couple—not the court—preserving their privacy, protecting their finances, and fostering a more peaceful transition for the entire family.
