The Collaborative Divorce model views divorce as the restructuring of the family,
not a battle to be won or lost.
The model is successful because it provides the participants with an optimal setting, atmosphere and support system to enable them to settle their divorce issues.
It empowers them to reach their own solutions to sometimes difficult divorce issues, thereby improving the chances for long-term goodwill and a sense of satisfaction that a fair and just resolution was reached when the divorce process is completed.
The attorneys are not there to do battle with each other, but are charged with guiding the process for the divorcing couple, and collaborating on solutions.
