What is collaborative divorce?

Collaborative divorce is a model for dispute resolution in which separated and divorcing couples, each represented by independent, specially trained attorneys, creatively reach agreement on all relevant issues without going to court and without threatening to do so. Collaborative family divorce is a team approach often involving mental health professionals ("divorce coaches" and "child specialists"), and financial specialists all of whom agree to use neutral, rather than partisan appraisers. A primary goal of the collaborative model is to avoid the acrimony and trauma of subjecting children to court-appointed forensics and emotionally damaging litigation.
