Collaborative Divorce Can Save You Money

By Mike Mastracci

Particularly in today's struggling economy, people are conscious of every dollar they spend. When separation and divorce strike, some people will understandably try to save on legal fees by embracing the collaborative law approach. While you will still have to spend money, it is well worth it. Whatever you do, don't try to do it yourself with one of those do-it-yourself "divorce in a box" kits.

In a collaborative case the parties and their respective collaboratively trained attorneys engage in a series of 4-way meetings with the goal of reaching acceptable resolutions for each spouse. It simply costs more to fight and it sure doesn't do much good when there are children involved. People are often totally shocked at the costs of divorce when everyone is in fight mode.

Most divorces are not necessarily cheap. In fact, you may have heard the phrase, "it's cheaper to keep her." What about him though? "Cheaper to keep him," may be true too, but it doesn't sound as good. Oh well, with the holiday season upon us and given the state of the economy in general, household finances are an issue. When divorce hits, it can be a financial disaster no matter when the separation occurs.

By engaging in the collaborative divorce process you do not have to contend with arbitrarily imposed court requirements, but can work together to provide your children with maximum financial stability. Both you and children deserve nothing less. If you must separate or divorce, do it with dignity and save a buck or two along the way.

Collaboratively trained professionals are not only concerned about the outcome, but the process. If you have children together, you and your spouse will still have to deal with each other for many years after the divorce is final. Learning how to co-parent is an important step in learning how to act in your children's best interests.

How much you spend on a collaborative case, much like any other domestic cases, will largely depend on the degree that the parties truly cooperate to reach acceptable resolutions of their respective issues and concerns. Fighting and bickering is expensive. It is much cheaper to"play nice.
