New trends in divorce
Traditionally litigated divorce takes its toll on many families, often leaving emotional scars that require years to heal. New, less adversarial approaches to divorce have arisen in recent years that can help divorcing couples obtain a divorce through cooperation and open communication. Such approaches include:
Divorce mediation: Divorce through mediation is an option for couples who prefer a negotiated agreement, rather than going to court on the issues. If the parties are willing to work together cooperatively and openly, divorce mediation can result in a workable settlement agreement. In mediation, the issues addressed include:Child custody, Child support, Spousal support and Property/debt division.
Collaborative divorce: In this process, the spouses, their divorce attorneys, and other professionals (as needed) form a team to work together in identifying and resolving all the disputed issues. Because a problem-solving approach is used, the attorneys can help you and your ex-spouse find solutions that meet each person’s needs and interests.
