Collaborative Divorce Team
From: Robert A. Simon, Ph.D. Collaborative Practice and Collaborative Divorce approach problem solving with the use of team work. The process of divorcing using the Collaborative approach involves the formation of a Collaborative team that, together, identifies goals, objectives, obstacles, methods and solutions. Not surprisingly, the better the Collaborative team plays together, the better the outcome. Since everyone is playing on the same team, the adversarial elements of divorce are not present. Divorce is not a war, it is a transition. The Collaborative team is made up of various professionals and the parents involved in the divorce.
