Divorce has become synonymous with conflict, heartache and arguments. Does it really have to be this way? The simple answer is, “No.” Turning a divorce into a court battle is more than emotionally draining — it is also financially draining.

A collaborative divorce is a cooperative and peaceful alternative to ending a marriage. Let’s take a look at exactly what is collaborative divorce and the advantage is that it gives couples looking to end their marriage peacefully.

What is a collaborative divorce?

The collaborative divorce process eliminates the idea that there has to be a winner and a loser in each divorce. By using mediation and negotiation, couples work out their own issues of child custody, marital support and property division. Creatively seeking win-win solutions, collaborative divorce takes the sting out of the divorce process.

What are the advantages of a collaborative divorce?

There are numerous benefits to being able to resolve your own divorce issues. Some of the most important benefits are as follows:

  • Saves money
  • Takes place in a comfortable and informal setting
  • Involves collaboration and open channels of communication
  • Allows couples to decide how to handle post-settlement disputes
  • Allows couples to negotiate without feeling the pressure of time restraints

If the above benefits sound appealing to you, then you may be a good candidate for a collaborative divorce. In a collaborative divorce, each party needs separate legal representation, and there may be a lot of meetings between everybody involved as each issue is addressed. The ultimate goal, of course, is to resolve all outstanding disputes (or most of them) before the court gets involved.
