collaborative divorce agreements

A collaborative divorce agreement is a voluntary process where both spouses work together, often with lawyers and other professionals, to resolve their divorce outside of court. They agree to communicate honestly, share information openly, and prioritize finding mutually acceptable solutions. The goal is to reach a fair settlement efficiently and cooperatively, reducing conflict, costs, and emotional stress. If negotiations break down, the process typically involves new legal representation for litigation, but the focus remains on collaboration and mutual respect throughout.
