Collaborative divorce has become more and more common in recent years. This method of divorce has the couple sit down with a South Florida Divorce Lawyer at their side to try to find a compromise position to their divorce. The process is non-adversarial, private, and does not take place in a courtroom. If the parties are not able to reach an agreement, the attorneys must remove themselves from the case. For a variety of reasons, couples are pursuing this method to end their marriage.
Choosing a Collaborative Divorce in Florida
The biggest reason people choose collaborative divorce is to prevent children from getting caught up in an ugly court battle. The couple wants to prevent hurt feelings because they understand that they will be in each other’s lives going forward as parents, if not as a married couple. Sitting down and coming to an agreement with one another can help prevent the deep wounds that can result from a traditional divorce.
Another reason people choose collaborative divorce is that it tends to be cheaper than traditional divorce. Since the process is non-adversarial, it can prevent the numerous motions and problems that can cause the billable hours to add up. By signing an agreement to work together in the process, a couple can save significant amounts of money.
