Would collaborative law be a good choice for a couple with power imbalances?

Yes. You should have some experience or at least do some research in the area of the problem so that you know what you’re dealing with. I would encourage all lawyers to take whatever psychological training they can take to understand different types of personalities, child rearing, bonding, and all those other things that go into kids.
