Why Collaborative Divorce?

by | May 21, 2025 | DIVORCE/DISSOLUTION |

Divorcing clients often want to know the benefits of Collaborative divorce. Whether in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky, many couples opt for collaborative divorce instead of traditional litigation.

An Alternative to Court

The Collaborative Process is the alternative to going to court. You and your spouse will each work with concerned and seasoned professionals throughout the Collaborative Process. This process involves a series of meetings attended by you and your spouse with your attorneys and often family and/or financial specialists. Everyone works together as a team to resolve all issues related to your divorce or separation rather than allowing a judge to make those decisions for your family.

Problem Solving and Client Centered

If both partners prefer problem-solving and focus on moving forward with a positive result for everyone involved, then the Collaborative Process may be for you.

  • Both parties provide full disclosure of all financial information for a positive result.
  • Your meetings are private and confidential with your team of professionals rather than public court hearings.
  • Everyone involved will be focusing on collaboration and negotiation rather than confrontation and argument.
  • The signed Collaborative Participation Agreement requires everyone to work together to resolve all issues and eliminates court hearing

Benefits of the Collaborative Process

The key benefits you will receive by using the Collaborative Process are:

    • The process is private; you avoid a public courtroom.
    • Your dignity and self-esteem are preserved.
    • You are empowered instead of confused, frustrated, and helpless.
    • You will avoid the suffering and drama of a long, drawn-out court battle.
    • Your children will be shielded from unnecessary suffering.
    • You will learn a cooperative approach to solve problems creatively.
