Dallas, TX family law attorney Brandi Crozier talks about the collaborative divorce process in Texas. She explains that collaborative divorce in Texas is not something most people have heard of unless they know someone who has gone through the process. It’s not commonly portrayed on TV dramas, but it is the most drama-free way to divorce.

In a collaborative divorce, she works with a team of professionals, and it requires both spouses to agree to participate in the collaborative model. Once they do, the court is notified to pause any normal actions and await updates from the attorneys until the collaborative process is complete.

During the collaborative process, the goal is to develop solutions for family law issues in a cooperative, non-adversarial way. She represents one spouse while another attorney represents the other. Additionally, the team includes a mental health professional and a financial advisor. This core team works together to guide the couple through the collaborative divorce process, helping them reach agreements that are fair, thoughtful, and focused on the family’s needs.
