5 Benefits of Collaborative Divorce

Here are five reasons people choose collaborative divorce:

1. Reduce Stress
   The collaborative divorce process fosters an atmosphere of communication, respect, and cooperation. By agreeing not to litigate, spouses avoid cruel legal tactics and stressful courtroom showdowns.
2. Save Money
   Studies show that, on average, people who choose collaborative law over traditional litigation save several thousands of dollars because they avoid court fees, share the costs of experts, and do not squander resources on adversarial court hearings and trials.
3. Protect Children
   Collaborative divorce produces impressive psychological benefits to children. Studies show that children recover more quickly from the stress of a divorce when the parents use the non-adversarial collaborative process.
4. Maintain Privacy
   Unlike litigation, collaborative divorce is private, and not part of the court record. Collaborative divorce is a welcome alternative to the often destructive, embarrassing aspects of conventional divorce.
5. Stay In Control
   Rather than put your fate into the hands of a judge, collaborative divorce gives spouses the opportunity to devise their own mutually satisfying agreement, with the advice of their collaborative lawyers.
