The Collaborative Team
Role of the Team
Collaborative Divorce relies on a team approach. Each team member brings unique skills to the table, ensuring that all aspects of the divorce are addressed. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that emotional, financial, and legal issues are handled comprehensively and thoughtfully.
Collaborative Lawyers
Collaborative lawyers act as legal guides and facilitators of the process, ensuring that both parties’ voices are heard and that the legal framework of the divorce is sound. They do not act as adversaries but as collaborators working toward a shared solution.
Divorce Coaches
Divorce coaches, typically mental health professionals, help manage the emotional challenges of divorce. They provide communication tools and help clients remain focused on their future goals rather than past conflicts.
Child Specialist
The child specialist ensures that children’s needs and interests are considered during the divorce process, giving them a voice in a safe, supportive environment.
Financial Neutral
A financial neutral helps assess the long-term financial implications of proposed agreements, ensuring that both parties have a clear understanding of their financial future.
