Chris LaFrance is a certified Collaborative Divorce Attorney. This family law certification means that has been extensively trained to negotiate a mutually beneficial compromise that encourages a friendly and peaceful environment for all the involved parties. Collaborative divorce is advantageous to couples wishing to end their marriage without the usual anger and resentment that divorce can bring to families.
In a collaborative divorce, both parties and their attorneys pledge to work in a cooperative manner to find and implement solutions to any disputes the divorcing couple may have. Another focus is to ensure that the children aren’t negatively affected during the divorce process
The collaborative approach to divorce requires mutual respect, civil communication, mutually acceptable solutions. While you may no longer be spouses, you do not cease being parents and decent human beings. When respect is given and received and when the couple approaches the dissolution process with a “win-win” attitude, solutions and negotiations are more productive, making it easier to reach an agreement.
Important things to consider when going through a collaborative divorce:
- Both spouses pledge not to litigate the case.
- An honest exchange of information by both spouses.
- To strive for mutually acceptable solutions considering the priorities of both parties and their children.
