00:04
collaborative divorce
00:06
is a an option for families
00:10
to obtain that divorce without going to
00:13
court first
00:14
both attorneys on both sides of the
00:15
table must be collaboratively trained
00:17
and they’ll have the other experts as
00:20
well to assist
00:21
and so the goal of the attorneys is to
00:24
work together
00:26
to get agreements done
00:29
through the process the option is not to
00:32
say
00:32
okay since you don’t want to give us
00:34
what we want we’re going to take you to
00:36
court
00:36
that’s not the goal the goal is to work
00:39
together
00:40
constantly putting your heads together
00:42
so that
00:43
the end result is an agreement and
00:46
sometimes it doesn’t always work
00:48
and the parties have to find
00:50
non-collaborative lawyers to go to court
00:52
for
00:53
but the goal is for that and so
00:56
it’s the hope that the interested
00:59
parties
01:00
can get through this with as as minimum
01:04
stress possible and that they are
01:07
controlled
01:07
they make decisions as opposed to the
01:10
person in the black coat that sits at
01:12
the top of the death with a big desk
01:15
and doesn’t have a relationship with
01:16
your children doesn’t have the
01:18
relationship
01:19
of the other spouse or have the real
01:21
history of the marriage
01:22
making the decisions the collaborative
01:25
process
01:26
incorporates other professionals to help
01:29
the parties
01:31
come to a final decision about their
01:35
