Many conditions including respecting and adjusting with each other give rise to issues like divorce in society. Though it is painful, many prefer to end their marriages and move on in life. It is not an easy task; people have to consider various aspects like the division of property, spouse support after marriage, child custody, and many more.

Traditionally, divorce cases were preceded with litigated hearing, where each party has to present in the court on a decided date but now people are shifting their preference towards collaborative divorce where they decide to reach at the consensus with a help of the attorney and there is no much interference by the court.

It saves time:

Although, it takes a generous amount of time to reach the mutual decision. The couple has to churn out the plan, give time in discussions and talk openly about their need but it is still far better than the traditional approach where people has to travel in court, wait for their turn and involve themselves in the discussions and still there are chances that they are unable to make a fruitful solution.

Sometimes, again there is a court hearing and again they have to manage all their personal and professional work making them waste a lot of valuable time.

There is an involvement of many people:

Not only the attorney is involved but a group of professionals is involved like the child specialist, finance advisor, a therapist all having different areas of specialization.

Every professional has a unique role to provide you the better insights into the problem and assists you to avoid further conflicts helping you to make the most genuine decision.

Beneficial for Children:

What the worst situation would be a child seeing the parents fighting in court? It will leave a negative impression on a child for the rest of life.

The collaborative divorce helps the parents to sort out the thing in a polite way without disrupting the child’s life.

Honesty:

Honesty is expected from both the partners in terms of their desires and the way they want to move ahead in life. But they have to be honest about their financial aspects like income and an asset. A minute lie can pull them in a court leading to worsening the situation. What if anyone of the partners is facing abuse and domestic violence? In such cases, the collaborative divorce will not work rather they have to go for the litigated trails.

It works in case of mutual understanding and when they consider other partners equal.
