Creating Lasting, Workable Solutions for Complex Divorce Cases

Divorce can be a highly emotional process, and it is not uncommon for spouses to become contentious and even hostile toward one another as they work to untie the knot of their marriage. However, there is another way to approach divorce, one that is collaborative and amicable. Collaborative divorce is an option for spouses who are looking for a less contentious, less stressful, and less litigious way to untie the knot of their marriage. Collaborative divorce is also an option for spouses who have complex issues to work through in their divorce and are willing to put in the hard work necessary to create lasting solutions.

At the Law Offices of Jason G. Smith, P.A., our attorneys are experienced in collaborative divorce and can help you through the collaborative divorce process.

Collaborative Divorce: An Overview

Collaborative divorce is a process in which divorcing spouses work with a trained collaborative divorce professional who guides them through the process of reaching an amicable divorce settlement. Collaborative divorce is not right for every couple, but it is an option for spouses who are willing to put in the hard work necessary to reach a lasting solution. Collaborative divorce has the following benefits:

  • It is an efficient process, since spouses are able to work out their divorce settlement without going to court.
  • It is a cost-effective process, since spouses can save thousands of dollars in legal fees by avoiding court.
  • It is a private process, since spouses can work out their divorce settlement without having to air their dirty laundry in court.
  • It is a less stressful process, since spouses do not have to worry about going to court and being subjected to the stressful and time-consuming litigation process.

While collaborative divorce is an option for some, it may not be the best option for all spouses. The decision to pursue collaborative divorce is highly dependent on the unique circumstances of each couple's situation. For example, collaborative divorce is not an option for spouses who have a high level of conflict and animosity toward one another.

Additionally, collaborative divorce is not an option for spouses who have complex issues to work through and are not willing to put in the hard work necessary to reach a lasting solution. Collaborative divorce is also not an option for spouses who have children under the age of 18, since the collaborative divorce process cannot be implemented until the divorce is finalized.

Collaborative Divorce: Benefits and Drawbacks

Collaborative divorce has both benefits and drawbacks. Collaborative divorce has the following benefits:

  • It is a private process, since spouses can work out their divorce settlement without having to air their dirty laundry in court.
  • It is a less stressful process, since spouses do not have to worry about going to court and being subjected to the stressful and time-consuming litigation process.
  • It is an efficient process, since spouses can work out their divorce settlement without having to go to court.
  • It is a cost-effective process, since spouses can save thousands of dollars in legal fees by avoiding court.

However, collaborative divorce is not without its drawbacks. Collaborative divorce has the following drawbacks:

  • It takes longer to reach an agreement, since spouses are working toward a lasting solution rather than a temporary settlement.
  • It is an expensive process, since spouses will have to pay for a collaborative divorce professional to guide them through the process.
