collaborative
00:05
law or collaborative divorce is is a
00:08
relatively
00:09
new way of entering into a
00:12
divorce dispute rather than litigating
00:16
or even mediating
00:18
collaborative law recognizes that both
00:21
parties have
00:22
similar interests and so we engage in
00:25
what’s called
00:26
interest-based negotiations as opposed
00:28
to positional bargaining
00:30
interest-based negotiations are like
00:32
collab collective bargaining agreements
00:34
between labor and management
00:36
or player team negotiations the parties
00:39
have an
00:40
ongoing relationship and so you want to
00:42
protect that by finding out what their
00:44
common interests are
00:46
developing the necessary information and
00:48
then creating
00:49
options and the thing that really
00:52
separates it from traditional
00:54
is the parties and their attorneys sign
00:56
a collaborative participation
00:58
agreement which says we are not going to
01:00
court
01:01
we are going to solve our problems
01:03
ourselves without the
01:05
interference of the legal system or the
01:08
judicial process
