collaborative divorce is a model of
00:07
handling a divorce that
00:10
results in not going to court no matter
00:13
what happens so everything is done
00:16
in a series of team meetings and
00:19
the beauty of collaborative is that the
00:22
client can feel
00:23
supported by a team
00:26
as opposed to in litigation you just
00:29
have one lawyer
00:30
or in mediation you don’t really have
00:31
anybody in your corner
00:33
so each client has a attorney and
00:37
a coach who is a mental health
00:38
professional trained in collaborative
00:40
law
00:41
to support them both emotionally and
00:43
from the legal aspect and then
00:45
other team members are brought into the
00:48
meetings based on the need of the team
00:50
so you might need a child specialist to
00:52
address custody issues if they’re
00:54
disagreements to get
00:55
have the voice of the child or you might
00:58
need a financial
01:00
to come in and and do some particular
01:03
work
01:03
and so other team members come in at
01:06
different points in the case depending
01:08
on what the team
01:10
needs are and the end result being
01:13
a marital settlement agreement which is
01:16
the ultimate you know contract between
01:19
the parties on their property division
01:21
support and custody
01:23
that becomes their final judgment in the
01:24
divorce
