While each has its place, a collaborative divorce varies a great deal from the other two. In this scenario, the entire family is involved and works together to create a future that respects the family unit while allowing it to morph into something more fitting for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>In the collaborative team, there are a few key players, in addition to the couple and children. You\u2019ll have attorneys for each spouse as well as a counselor, child specialist, and financial advisor to work with the family. There\u2019s truly a focus on working together and getting everyone in on the plan. A child specialist will help your children through the process and advocate for their needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe weren\u2019t sure if or how collaborative divorce would work for our family of five,\u201d shared Nathaniel, a 51-year-old father of three children, ranging in age from 5 to 13. \u201cThere were a lot of emotions between my wife and me as well as with our children, but we wanted to focus on their needs as much as possible. That\u2019s one of the reasons we chose a collaborative approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parenting_Planning_Inside_Collaborative_Divorce\"><\/span>Parenting Planning Inside Collaborative Divorce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways a parenting plan can work, from one parent having the children most of the time to a true 50\u201350 split. There are many ways to facilitate exchanges and time sharing as well. The goal is always to do what most benefits the children, regardless how you complete the divorce. But with a collaborative split, the children also have a say. Typically, that doesn\u2019t happen with a litigation or mediation divorce.<\/p>\n<p>James, a 32-year-old husband and father married his high-school sweetheart when she got pregnant in their senior year. \u201cI hesitate to call it a mistake because I loved Cheryl, and the kids were the best thing that ever happened to me. But now the twins are 14, and both of us are ready for the second half of our lives. We still want to be there for Jessica and Jennifer, but we can do that and live in different homes. Plus, since they\u2019re older, we want them to be active participants in the conversation about where they live. Collaborative divorce gives us that option.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Honor everyone&#8217;s opinion by having a collaborative divorce with a child specialist and a pre-contract to be transparent and honest. If the family wants to do week-on, week-off schedules, an as-we-go mix, or even keep the kids in the home while the parents move in and out, everything is possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_Collaborative_Divorce_Right_For_You\"><\/span>Is a Collaborative Divorce Right For You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a contentious or violent situation, litigation might be the best option, but for many couples, the collaborative environment can work incredibly well. This is especially true for parents who want to create a strong co-parenting relationship with their ex. Divorce is a scary time for children, and they want to know they are not to blame for what\u2019s happening to their family. They also desire for things to stay close to the same as they have been, so working through the collaborative process is an investment in their well being and future.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a parent who is moving toward divorce, we encourage you to consider a collaborative approach. <a href=\"https:\/\/ogbornelaw.com\/contact\/\">Contact Ogborne Law today<\/a>, we have your family\u2019s best interests in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Divorce is never easy, and it\u2019s made immeasurably more difficult when children are involved.
