And they kind of help you go back and forth, but it's one person and they're not on anybody's side.
And the thought process is it's cheaper and it is quicker.
And you're not dealing with the court systems and judges and all that good stuff.
With collaborative divorce, it's a little bit more elevated.
There are four professionals.
Each spouse gets their own collaboratively trained attorney in their corner.
And then there is a financial neutral.
And then there is a mental health professional.
And they act as sort of the facilitator or the parent coordinator.
And the four individuals...
are all collaboratively trained and everybody, including the spouses, take an oath that we are not going to threaten to go to court and we're going to be fair and respectful and really design the best divorce for this family.
Yeah, I really love the collaborative practice because it does give each person that time alone with their individual collaboratively trained attorney to kind of process what is most important.
I really enjoy the fact that there's one financial neutral.
Right off the bat, you're saving time and money because you're having one professional involved.
kind of do the financial affidavit, gather all the financial documents and do that analysis so that everybody's on the same page.
And so it's instead of paying each person to have their own kind of document discovery, it's more efficient for time and money and resources.
And so that way, once the financial neutral has all that information, sharing it makes it much easier to kind of see all the
all of the balls at play, where the assets are, where the liabilities are, the income coming in, the expenses going out.
And it really depends.
So time-wise, I would say three to six months is a good average time for a collaborative case, as long as everyone's on the same page and being truthful and sharing documents.
