Maintaining Respect in Divorce
Couples embarking on a life together rarely plan on getting divorced or being separated. The lack of preparedness and emotional shock involved is part of what makes divorce so hard to bear.
Anyone who has had any experience with divorce or separation can tell you it is not a simple matter. While divorce will never be an enjoyable experience for anyone involved, there is no rule that requires divorce to be messy, vindictive and overtly hurtful.

Benefits of a Dignified Divorce
There are countless benefits to avoiding the knock-down-drag-out court battles you read about in the tabloids or have possibly even experienced as a participant or family member.
When you are facing a divorce, which will include redistribution of your marital assets, economic instability is a worrisome problem. One of the benefits of Mediation or Collaborative Law is that it is much less costly to the client. Other benefits of these methods of divorce include:
- More control over the proceedings are given to the client
- There is more potential for creating a family-centered approach that will make the process easier on any children that are involved in the relationship
- No time, energy or other valuable resources will be wasted by being in the courtroom
- Less stress and anxiety
In fact, in the Collaborative Law process, the parties actually sign a Collaborative Participation Agreement, promising not to litigate their divorce, but come to an agreement on all issues involving the marriage.
