What happens when disputes cannot be resolved in a collaborative divorce?
First, it is important to remember that most couples really are able to make good choices to manage their divorce in a better way. We know that many issues may be difficult to discuss but collaborative professionals can assist you and your spouse in working through these matters and help you make good choices. Because collaborative professionals are committed to the collaborative process and agree not to go to court, they will explore all options to overcome any obstacle that would prevent a successful resolution and the necessity to terminate the process. There are many options to resolve an impasse, such as seeking consultation with other collaborative professionals or even engaging the services of a mediator to assist with a four-way meeting.
