Collaborative Divorces Attorney In Massachusetts & New Hampshire

What Is A Collaborative Divorce?

Divorce is stressful enough in itself, let alone the courtroom drama that turns you and someone you once loved into bitter enemies. And, if there are children involved, the courtroom battles between their parents can scar them for a lifetime. A collaborative divorce takes the drama out of the equation by giving you and your spouse the chance to resolve all their issues outside of the courtroom in a respectful, even collegial manner. However, both parties must first agree to settle their differences in such a proceeding.

If you think this solution might be best for you and your family, you’ll need a collaborative divorce lawyer to represent you. Our family law attorneys have the experience to help you successfully navigate the process and come to an equitable settlement. To learn more about how collaborative divorce can benefit you, get in touch with our team today!

What Are the Benefits of a Collaborative Divorce?

In addition to helping you and your spouse divorce as amicably as possible, pursuing a collaborative divorce is almost always less expensive than a contested courtroom battle. Instead of months of discovery, depositions, and courtroom fees, you’ll meet with experienced family law attorneys to work out your differences. In case of disputes, your attorney will contend for your interests to arrive at a settlement that meets your needs. And, instead of a courtroom battle where a judge holds all the cards, you’ll have more control over the process. Don’t leave your situation to chance. Discover the benefits of collaborative divorce with one of our experienced, compassionate family law attorneys. Contact our office today!

What Happens During a Collaborative Divorce?

If you and your spouse can agree to explore whether a collaborative divorce might work for you, you’ll each hire an attorney to represent each party’s interests. Then, if you both agree to start the collaborative process, you and each of your attorneys will sign an agreement committing everyone involved to settle any unresolved issues through collaboration. Then, you’ll meet regularly, focusing on each of the parties’ interests and needs, including the best interest of any minor children involved. If needed, additional professionals can take part, such as family counselors, financial planning attorneys, and others. After you and your spouse agree on all issues, your lawyers will draft a formal agreement and submit it to the court for approval. If you’d like to see if a collaborative divorce might work for you, sit down with one of our family law attorneys. Book your first appointment today!
