Out of Court Divorce - Collaborative Process

Out of Court Divorce - Nelson BC

The Collaborative Process:

• begins with a Participation Agreement
• when applied to divorce results in huge Benefits including less stress, lower costs and happier kids without going to court
• moves the focus from blame to resolution
• differs from mediation in that a mediator is a neutral party who cannot offer advice or opinions, where the collaborative process allows both parties to have active legal advisors - you are never on your own - your collaborative Lawyer is at your side explaining issues and helping you achieve goals by mutual participation and agreement
