What is a collaborative team (or interdisciplinary model)?
A collaborative team is a carefully chosen group of professionals who assist with different aspects of the divorce process. In addition to collaborative attorneys, parties may have the opportunity to meet with coaches who can help with the difficult emotional issues that accompany divorce, improve communication, and assist with parenting issues including the design of a parenting plan. A child specialist can help parents understand their children’s concerns and developmental needs. Financial specialists can help the parties understand their financial situation and develop possible financial settlement options. The collaborative team provides the parties the best possible services from the professional most qualified to address each unique issue of divorce.
