Why a Collaborative Divorce in the Orlando, Florida Area?

Are you contemplating divorce and worried about spending all your complex and protracted litigation? Are you worried about spending marital assets on costly litigation and attorney’s fees? Are you fearful of your financial future? Are you sad at the loss of your family unit and fear destroying your family in the process of a publicly litigated divorce? Do you want privacy for your financial and family affairs during the divorce? Do you feel there is a power imbalance between you and your spouse? If you answered yes to any of these questions and want to control your own destiny by breaking the cycle of conflict, you should learn more about collaborative divorce. 

A collaborative divorce is a cost-effective voluntary process that can minimize the impact of conflict on you and your children. Both the husband and wife are represented by collaboratively trained family lawyers who work together to help you and your spouse agree on joint decisions that are necessary in order to have your marriage dissolved without the financial and emotional cost that usually occurs during protracted family law litigation. The parties are in control of their own destiny and define their mutual and separate goals, interests, and needs with the help of a dream team. This allows the husband and wife to develop creative ways to stay out of the courtroom; and still negotiate a fair, equitable, and private divorce settlement. 

The dream team consists of husband’s attorney, wife’s attorney, the financial neutral, and the mental health neutral. The collaborative meetings take place at the financial neutral’s office or the mental neutral’s office.  The attorneys of the parties have a vested interest in settling the case. They cannot represent the respective parties if the process does not succeed and the parties must litigate the case. At that point, the parties must obtain litigation attorneys to represent them.
