Professional Training

Collaborative divorce is a needs-based process focused on creative problem-solving, rather than angry, self-serving arguments. Each party is represented by an attorney, while the other team members involved operate as neutral, joint experts. This is quite different than litigation where there may be a battle of the experts, which may impact your wallet and not provide the solutions you need. All professionals on your Collaborative team are Collaboratively trained to use non-adversarial conflict resolution and non-adversarial communication.

What That Means to You

Every married couple, and consequently every divorce, has unique needs. The Collaborative process provides unique solutions for your family to divorce well and be able to co-parent, or co-grandparent, together on the other side.

Don’t let your future out of your hands or with the court system. No one cares about your future, your finances, and your family, like you. Experience the power of a professional team escorting you through this difficult and confusing process.
