class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_want_or_desire_for_separate_legal_representation\"><\/span>The want or desire for separate legal representation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you require the guidance of a lawyer having your back every step of the way, you may discover collaborative divorce a better choice. For instance, your case may involve some convoluted legal or financial matters that you don\u2019t feel capable of negotiating. Or you might feel more comfortable with the notion of having a professional to consult with each turn. In collaborative divorce, the two lawyers assist in every aspect of your case, so this method would address your requirement for representation during the process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_disparity_in_your_relationship\"><\/span>Power disparity in your relationship<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When there are underlying dynamics in the relationship with your spouse that leaves one or both of you feeling at a clear disadvantage in discussions about complicated subjects, you might want the additional insulation and structure offered by collaborative divorce. Having a knowledgeable collaborative lawyer on your side can sometimes provide you with more confidence in conveying what\u2019s important to you, even at your spouse\u2019s disapproval. Or when you know you are inclined to \u201ctake over\u201d in discussions with your spouse, you may find it useful to have a supportive lawyer there to push you into a respectful silence when required.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drawbacks_to_Collaboration\"><\/span>Drawbacks to Collaboration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The primary drawback to collaboration is that when it doesn\u2019t work out, your collaborative lawyer is required to extricate themselves, and you have to start from the beginning with a new lawyer and maybe new professionals and advisers. Meaning a lot of cost and delay whereas you get your new lawyer caught up and get new professionals. Many lawyers are vital of collaborative divorce for these reasons. Additionally, many lawyers contest that collaborative law clouds the duty of your lawyer, who is expected to look for concessions and solutions satisfactory to the other side whereas concurrently representing your interests. Obviously, this disapproval ignores the fact that when you have decided to collaborate, you have chosen that it is in your interests to look for mutually acceptable agreements. Other arguments that could be made against collaboration is that since lawyers are more involved in negotiating procedures than they commonly are in mediation, you might be less likely to arrive at acceptable solutions \u2014solutions that are beyond what the law might prescribe (for instance, trading payments for schooling or occupational-training now for a shorter period paying spousal support down the road). One of the benefits of a non-adversarial process is that the law is only a guideline, not a suggestion, and you are free to choose what is going to work for you. The more lawyers are engaged in the process, the debate goes, the less creatively thinking is going to be applied.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, as in the case of a failed mediation, there is a little risk that a case may become very conflicting when collaboration fails, since there may be a tendency to give up on ever coming to a reasonable settlement. A solution to this issue is to spend time creating an \u201cexit strategy\u201d when it appears like collaboration isn\u2019t working. Nevertheless, this might not always be likely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_That_Favor_Mediation\"><\/span>Factors That Favor Mediation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adaptability_and_management_over_the_process\"><\/span>Adaptability and management over the process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mediation is possibly more compliant than collaboration. To begin with, you\u2019ll only need three individuals for mediation to happen: you, your spouse, and the mediator. There is nothing to hindering you from adding other individuals to the process if and should you need them, but you aren\u2019t required to have lawyers\u2014or other professionals\u2014actively engaged in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Mediation is also probably more adaptable than collaboration as it comes down to the procedures you are going to follow. A lot of collaborative lawyers are a part of a collaborative group with their own \u201cprotocols\u201d\u2014or rules\u2014that are going to apply to cases managed by members of the group. This could be a good thing, since it decreases the possibility of oversights among the professionals. However, the trade-off is that you might have a lesser amount of input than you would want in how and when things occur in the case. This will not happen in mediation, where you work alongside the mediator on choosing both the process and the matter of your case.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Efficiency_and_cost_savings\"><\/span>Efficiency and cost savings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mediation is probably more cost-effective and efficient than collaboration is. Just from a logistical viewpoint, arranging the calendars of 4 or more individuals, with at least two of who are working professionals, is a time-consuming undertaking, one that could add to the expense of the process. Additionally, the active involvement of two lawyers, and maybe other professionals, making the expense almost certain to be higher than a mediation whereas the spouses convene alone with the mediator, even when they consult with lawyers and other professionals every so often.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confidentiality\"><\/span>Confidentiality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A couple of states have laws placed to safeguard the confidentiality of statements made throughout a mediation. No laws have been made to safeguard the confidentiality of collaboration. You are going to share lawyer client confidentiality with your own collaborative lawyer; however, the four-way meetings will not be considered \u201cconfidential\u201d settlement talks, and the laws safeguarding settlement talks are far from certain. Whereas you can\u2014and should\u2014sign a confidentiality agreement when you choose a collaborative divorce, the binding of such agreements could be subject to concessions. When confidentiality is important to you, and when you\u2019re in a state with tough laws safeguarding mediation confidentiality, you could be better off mediating.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drawbacks_to_Mediation\"><\/span>Drawbacks to Mediation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you can\u2019t come to a settlement through mediation, you might have to start from the beginning, and will have \u201clost\u201d the money spent for the mediation process. In many cases, your consulting lawyer may not be a litigator, making you start over with a new lawyer for the challenged case that might be your next step. (When you are worried that mediation may not work, you need to be sure you retain a consulting lawyer that can go the whole way with you.)<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, when mediation does not result in an agreement, there is an attraction to completely give up the idea of coming to a mutually reasonable settlement. If so, your case might become highly combative. These drawbacks are somewhat minimal, though, since the expense of mediation is generally so sensible. In addition, you might be able to transfer over to a collaborative process or an additional non-adversarial process instead of going into all out litigation.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Source\"><\/span>Source:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 28.35pt; text-indent: -28.35pt;\">Emily Doskow, A.
