Divorce plans here suggest collaborative divorce as the best option\u2014and for good reason.<\/p>\n<p>If a couple can talk about their differences, then they\u2019re less likely to find themselves in a courtroom fighting each other through attorneys.<\/p>\n<p>Many attorneys have taken the idea of a \u201cfriendlier\u201d divorce one step further, choosing to advocate for a more collaborative approach. Let\u2019s explore why family and divorce attorneys are making the switch and what it means for the future of divorce.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Pain_of_Litigation\"><\/span>The Pain of Litigation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Marriages fail for many reasons, and it can be challenging to transition to this new phase of your relationship without some hard feelings. In litigation divorce the feelings of pain, remorse, anger, and regret are magnified by a thousand.<\/p>\n<p>What happens in the courtroom does not stay in the courtroom. Angry exes become angry parents. These are the parents who scorn each other in front of their children, pointing fingers and laying blame.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, it creates what would be called a \u201chostile work environment\u201d in a business setting.<\/p>\n<p>You know there\u2019s an emotional cost associated with litigation divorce, but there\u2019s also a steep financial cost. Attorneys are not cheap, and you could be paying $250 to $500 an hour for yours.<\/p>\n<p>All the time they spend preparing the case, filing paperwork, talking with you, and sitting in court adds up. Then you have to multiply that number by two since there are two of you included in this case, and you each need to have your own attorney.<\/p>\n<p>Are you the primary breadwinner? If so, you might have to pay for both attorneys yourself. Talk about expensive!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Collaborative_Divorce_Is_Gaining_Momentum\"><\/span>Why Collaborative Divorce Is Gaining Momentum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Divorce attorneys don\u2019t like the mudslinging anymore than you do, and that\u2019s one main reason they\u2019re leaning toward a more collaborative dissolution of marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of being in the business of breaking marriages, these forward-thinking family-law professionals are now in the business of creating a brighter future for couples and families.<\/p>\n<p>With a collaborative divorce, there\u2019s no black hole of attorneys\u2019 fees, which appeals to many professionals. They prefer being able to provide value, as opposed to a hefty bill.<\/p>\n<p>Also, a collaborative environment encourages couples and families to work together.<\/p>\n<p>Some attorneys who get a taste of the collaborative process are reticent to return to the courtroom. They are heartbroken by the fact a judge who knows nothing about their client\u2019s family dynamics can make decisions about what\u2019s in the best interest of the children in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collaborative_Divorce_the_Best_Option_for_Your_Family\"><\/span>Collaborative Divorce: the Best Option for Your Family<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unless you really enjoy fighting, there\u2019s no good reason to choose a litigation divorce. It\u2019s time consuming, heartbreaking, and expensive. With a collaborative divorce, on the other hand, you value your family and the relationships you\u2019ve built.<\/p>\n<p>You work as a unit to determine how the future will look for you. With the support of attorneys, mediators, financial advisors, and counselors to ensure you all make it through this transition whole and happy.<\/p>\n<p>Divorce is never an easy choice, but with a collaborative divorce, it can be a whole lot more bearable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know the state of Arizona\u2019s first choice for dissolving a marriage is mediation?
