Collaborative Divorce

"Stop acting as if life
is a rehearsal.
Live this day as if
it were your last.
The past is over
and gone. The future
is not guaranteed."

Wayne Dyer
The Collaborative Divorce process was developed as an alternative to the traditional adversarial approach to Family Law. Lawyers began to notice that the bitterness and acrimony engendered by the litigation process was having long term harmful consequences on those who participated in it. They also began to notice that participating in this process was having a deleterious impact not only on their clients' emotional and psychological lives but also on their own lives as well. As a result lawyers began to explore alternative avenues of resolving disputes. One of these processes is now known as Collaborative Divorce.

If you find yourself facing a divorce or separation the Collaborative Process can provide a potential answer for you. The Collaborative Divorce process is for those who are seeking to:
  • find an alternative to the "traditional", acrimonious divorce process;
  • reduce the expense, both financial and emotional of the divorce process;
  • protect their children from the bitterness and chaos of an adversarial divorce;
  • ensure that both parents will be encouraged to participate in shared parenting during and after the divorce;
  • minimize the confusion and emotional distress of the divorce process; and
  • participate in a process that is respectful of all those involved.
