Collaborative divorce is a newer trend in the area of divorce throughout the country. Because it is new, many divorcing couples in the United States often overlook it. Truthfully, however, collaborative divorce is a problem solving process that can save on the expense and emotion of a divorce.

Collaborative divorce is a type of alternative dispute resolution. The process was first used in the early 1990’s. Minnesota family law attorneys wanted to use a fair and straightforward method of resolving divorce disputes and, as a result, collaborative divorce was created. Discussions in collaborative law are based in an out-of-court setting and problem solving is the main goal. This process allows many divorcing couples to settle disputes about property and support without having to spend a significant period of time in a courtroom.

But, in order for a collaborative divorce to be successful, both individuals involved must be committed toward resolving their issues. The couple creates a written agreement to express this commitment. The agreement ensures that each person will keep an open mind during discussions and fully disclose important information. After the agreement is signed, both individuals and their lawyers meet in a neutral setting. In many situations, the collaborative divorce process ends in a settlement that resolves all issues being disputed.

Not all family law attorneys are familiar with the collaborative divorce process. If an individual believes collaborative divorce is a good option for them, getting the right information is essential. This will help divorcing couples understand the best way to mediate difficult issues and can help to create a win-win situation for all parties involved.
