My Conversation on the Respectful Divorce Podcast
I recently had the opportunity to appear as a guest on the Respectful Divorce Podcast with my friend and colleague, Wendy Aikin. We were invited to discuss how the Collaborative Divorce Process works and why it is often a better option than traditional litigation. We also addressed common questions people have about Collaborative Divorce and how it benefits families.
Solving Problems, Not Creating Conflict: The Collaborative Divorce Advantage
Collaborative Divorce often utilizes a team of professionals, including a financial neutral and a mental health neutral, who are trained to address common issues that arise in divorces. Unlike traditional litigation, the collaborative team approaches each family’s unique situation as a problem to solve together, rather than an opportunity to inflame emotions or prolong conflict.
How Trust and Teamwork Make Divorce Less Painful
One of the key strengths of Collaborative Divorce is the relationship between attorneys. Because collaborative attorneys frequently work together on multiple cases, they develop a professional relationship built on trust. While transparency and maintaining confidential communication between attorney and client are essential, when attorneys trust each other, they can explore creative solutions and resolve issues faster than the rigid, paint-by-numbers litigation process allows.
Co-Parenting Success After Divorce: Why Collaboration Matters
During the podcast, we also discussed how Collaborative Divorce benefits children and parents. Since this process prioritizes communication and co-parenting skills, parents are more likely to continue co-parenting successfully after the divorce is finalized. Learning how to navigate the Collaborative Divorce process together sets the foundation for a healthier co-parenting relationship moving forward.
Helping Families Through Divorce with Collaboration, Not Conflict
As a firm believer in Collaborative Divorce and a board member of Central Florida Collaborative Divorce, I am committed to making this process accessible to any family who may benefit from it.
