How is a Collaborative Divorce Completely Different from a Traditional Divorce?

In a Collaborative Divorce, couples work together throughout the divorce process, agreeing not to go to court, but instead reach mutual agreements through understanding and negotiation. The Hill Law Firm P.C.’s 30-year foundation practicing family law and can help you navigate your divorce options in Overland Park and Johnson County, KS.

Before beginning, an  agreement is reached that each spouse will openly disclose needed information and will participate in the six-way meetings to reach a mutual divorce outcome. Participating in the six-way meetings are both spouses, two separate collaborative divorce attorneys, a financial advisor and mental health coach. 

Instead of decisions being made for you inside of a courtroom, each spouse is equipped with their own collaborative divorce attorney at their side to advocate for their needs, desires and preferences during the divorce process. Having their needs communicated in this open and nurturing environment allows for much more creative and long-lasting resolutions to be made.
 
Threats, subpoenas, court orders and the like never enter the equation during a collaborative divorce, but are often found in traditional divorce. Especially when children are involved, collaborative divorce is an excellent option. With an overall goal of cooperation, the couple can maintain their parenting relationship long after their marital one is over.
