If divorce coaches, financial neutrals, and child therapists are all hired, how is a Collaborative Divorce less expensive for me?
Collaborative Divorce still manages to be less expensive than a typical litigated divorce because the enormous costs of preparing for court do not exist. 95% of divorces end in an out-of-court settlement. But still, attorneys waste time and resources preparing for the “day in court” that never comes. In a Collaborative Divorce, we are never preparing for a court appearance; all of your team’s efforts are spent on reaching a resolution. Collaborative Divorce also saves you money because it saves time. Instead of spending time posturing and waiting for responses, as is the case in a litigated divorce, both attorneys and spouses discuss the issues of the divorce in efficient 4-way meetings. This set-up is designed to reduce wasted efforts and to keep the divorce moving at your pace.
