Is Collaborative Law Right for Me? |

The Collaborative Process provides a more constructive way of divorce. If you agree with most of the statements below, you and your family might benefit from a Collaborative Divorce: • Our children are my top priority. • I believe our private matters should remain confidential. • I want to avoid going to court. • I can work together with my spouse to come up with a plan that’s best for our family, even though that means I might have to compromise. • I’m committed to problem solving, not problem creating. • I am willing to be open and honest about all financial and other relevant information. • I can be respectful towards my spouse, even when we disagree. • I want to be the one who decides what’s best for our family, not a stranger. • I am willing to listen to others’ points of view and be flexible. Admittedly, the Collaborative Process does not work well for everybody. We do not recommend this model for people experiencing physical, sexual or emotional abuse.
