SUCCESSFUL
RESOLUTION:

Collaborative Divorce focuses on the future with its respectful, integrity – based conflict resolution and its emphasis on valuing relationships. When couples embrace the Collaborative Divorce process, and make full use of its resources for deep resolution of conflict, planning for the future, and the protection of relationships during a challenging life passage, a positive difference in the quality of their lives after the divorce, is ultimately realized.

  • Preservation of integrity & respect;

  • Greater control over the process & outcome of your divorce while protecting your privacy rather than revealing intimate matters in the public record;

  • The opportunity to provide a healthy co-parenting relationship that meets the children’s needs rather than having them caught in the middle;

  • The probability of reducing stress & animosity rather than nurturing anger and hostility;

  • It focuses on empowering the parties to make their own decisions about their futures without court intervention;

  • Provides a forum for the facilitation & development of effective communication & negotiation skills rather than play the “blame game”;

  • Identifies and addresses interests & concerns and provides a means for achieving an agreement reflective of everyone’s needs rather than winning at all costs;

  • It allows for resolution with preservation of the positive aspects of the relationships rather than denying or destroying them; and, Accomplishes this life transition in a civil and dignified manner;

  • OR, in the ALTERNATIVE: You choose to do battle & you let someone else (the judge & the court) CHOOSE FOR YOU.
