As a Collaborative Divorce Lawyer, I’ve seen the agony suffered by the ones I’ve served in making the decision to get a divorce.  I’ve learned just how critical it is to fully and finally determine it’s the time to uncouple in the proper way.

Learn about all your options first

Learn about all your options.  Attend a Divorce Options® Workshop that will fully explain each option available to you, whether it be litigation, mediation, or collaborative divorce.  Visit Divorce Options Florida to find upcoming dates and to register.  These workshops are free and no sales presentations of any kind are made.  They are simply to educate you on your options.  It’s beneficial to have both spouses attend the workshop (which take place via zoom) so you are both on the same page.

 Choose the best option for you and your family

Once you know your options, you may want to choose the Collaborative Divorce Process, because unlike litigation, it concentrates on solutions, not blame and finger pointing.  In the Collaborative Divorce process, you and your partner opt for a peaceful and respectful resolution of your marriage.  Collaborative divorce also provides you and your partner the opportunity to have the best resolution for your entire family.

Your collaborative team contains:

• an attorney for each spouse
• a mental health professional, if needed, that can work with the couple as needed in areas such as communication, co-parenting, and working directly with the children, and
• a neutral financial professional who can fully explain the financial landscape of the marriage and provide advice, budgeting and future projections for the couple.

Your concerns, goals, and interests are going to be your guide and all are taken into consideration in coming to a resolution.  You get to decide the final destination of the divorce.
