California family lawyer Joe Spirito offers advice to divorcing couples who think collaborative practice might be the right divorce process for them.
Is collaborative practice the right divorce process for us?
Getting a divorce is one of the most challenging events in a person’s life. And all marriages and domestic partnerships have their own unique set of circumstances. As such, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to obtaining a divorce. Many do find that the collaborative process is a welcome alternative to some of the more adversarial aspects of a litigated divorce. Spouses considering the collaborative divorce model may want to consider the values of the collaborative process and whether it is important to them as well.
