When most people think about divorce, they imagine an angry couple battling to the proverbial death. Adam Driver as the angry husband punching a hole in the wall in Marriage Story or Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner surrounded by their phalanx of lawyers come to mind. It doesn’t have to be that way. Rather than jumping straight into scorched earth litigation, couples can pursue Collaborative Divorce.
This alternate resolution process offers a far more humane approach to untangling the many ties that bind a married couple. Viewing divorce as a problem to be solved rather than a war to be won, the Collaborative process represents a profound paradigm shift from the traditional divorce pursued in family court.
