How are decisions made in the divorce or separation process?
There are several ways that you can make the separation, financial and parenting decisions that need to be made. You can negotiate all of these decisions yourself without help from anyone. You can each work with an attorney who can negotiate on your behalf or meet with you and your spouse in a “four way” meeting to resolve all the issues. You can meet with a mediator who will help you identify and resolve all of the issues without imposing any solutions on you. You can take any unresolved issues before a judge where you can engage in the trial process. And, of course, you can use a combination of these methods.
