Are you really ready for a divorce?
Not only is divorce one of the most stressful events a person can experience in their lifetime it can also be the most complicated. In a divorce it is likely you are juggling major life events like buying and/or selling a house, moving, separating property, dividing retirement, transitioning work environments, telling the kids, gathering information etc. Everything involved in the divorce seems to pile on top of each other and can become overwhelming very quickly.
So where do you start? And how will you ever finish? Two keys to successfully navigating the practical aspects of the divorce are organization and planning. You need to know what to expect, gather information and plan meetings according to the pace you want to set for the process. The model you use to get divorced will dictate the timing of your case. Some options are more efficient than others. For instance, the traditional court process has a lot of bureaucratic steps inherently involved which take time, money and energy to go through. The Collaborative process is designed to address your direct divorce needs. You hire professionals to exclusively help you and your spouse reach an agreement on all of the issues of your divorce.
