Assembling the Team — Because collaborative divorce treats the divorce like a problem to be solved rather than a competition
between the
parties, the process is set up to deal with all three of the dimensions of
issues that come up for people going through divorce — legal, financial, and
emotional.
The Traditional Divorce Settlement model looks different in different cases but tends to be more pared down than Collaborative Divorce, usually because the
parties have a very uncomplicated financial estate, they do not have children together, there are no potentially problematic
emotional / relational
issues at play
between the
parties, or some combination of all three.
