Indeed, the type of divorce that most people know involves court hearings. However, there’s a better way of doing things.
Divorces that are settled in court are only done by people who won’t agree with one another. This can include a number of things, such as child custody, property distribution, or even spousal support. This is the traditional divorce process that everybody’s familiar with.
However, there’s an alternative. There is such a thing called “collaborative divorce”. In the state of Florida, this is a legal way of getting a divorce without the hassle of court hearings and litigations. This process can cost you considerably less money, less time, and more equal ground when it comes to your future life’s choices.
Divorces don’t have to be so painful. In the state of Florida, the process of collaborative divorce is just like for any other state in the United States. It is informal, but it gets the job done. The first prerequisite though for this type of divorce involves both parties willing to agree on a middle ground – hence the term “collaborative”. This type of divorce intends collaboration between both parties. It doesn’t involve courts, but only involve professional attorneys and mediators to do the job.
Collaborative law has been around for some time, and it has worked wonderfully for divorcing couples who have the future of their kids and themselves in mind.
In these cases, collaborative divorces require experienced attorneys in order to get the message of both parties across. The process starts with a one-on-one between the client and their attorney, followed by a four-way meeting between both parties. There will be regular sessions discussing different things such as child custody, property division, and others. Once both parties settled on all agreements, then it will be filed with the court. Therefore, if both parties can come to such mutual agreements, a collaborative divorce is a smart way to go.
Even though a collaborative divorce seems easy, there will still often be minor disagreements. Clients are highly encouraged to be completely honest about their situation, so no surprises arise during the process. If they need $350 minimum every week for child support as an example, all parties including the attorneys need to know this.
This is why when engaging in a relatively friendly divorce process of collaboration, one must have the right collaborative divorce attorney for the job.
