Over the years, our firm has handled countless divorce cases. We have learned that no two families are alike and all require personalized legal counsel and support to get to a favorable outcome.

When couples are willing to work together to dissolve their marriage and move forward with their lives, it is often much more beneficial for all parties involved. Collaborative divorce is a way for couples to maintain healthy relationships as they move on from marriage. As an alternative to traditional divorce litigation, collaborative divorce has only recently begun to gain popularity and traction.

How Does the Collaborative Process Work?

At the core of a collaborative divorce must be a willingness to work together from both spouses. If one spouse will not compromise in certain areas or refuses to communicate honestly, it can greatly hinder the process and may ultimately lead the couple back to divorce litigation. This is why it is so important to discuss your situation with a collaborative divorce attorney in Mesa ahead of time to ensure that it is the best option for your case.

Overall, the following will likely be involved in your collaborative divorce:

  • Each spouse will retain an attorney to represent them
  • Both parties must sign a collaborative agreement
  • Coaches or specialists may be brought in
  • All sides work to peacefully resolve issues
  • A fair settlement is created that honors both spouses
