How Does Collaborative Divorce Differ from Litigated Divorce?

Collaborative Divorce is a process designed as an alternative to traditional litigation to end a marriage.  It is sometimes referred to as “divorce with dignity,” “peaceful divorce,” or the “gentler divorce.  It is intended to offer you and your spouse the support, guidance and resources of each having a collaboratively trained attorney, working as a team, to allow you to avoid going to court.  Collaborative Divorce also provides you with the benefits of a divorce coach (a trained mental health professional) and, as needed, other professionals (a child specialist, financial neutral, etc.), all working as a team.

In the process, your team will work with you to negotiate a settlement with your spouse, giving you the freedom to avoid having the court decide your personal issues.  You will maintain open communication and readily share information.  This allows for creative problem solving, often at less expense.  Intrigued?  Contact Kim Large for more information: klarge@mikameyers.com, or 616-632-8024”
