Forward-Thinking Guidance Through Traditional Divorce Alternatives
Not all divorces need to be contentious and full of hotheaded decision-making. There are more peaceful options available to people who want to spend less time, money and stress on their divorce. With the right, innovative approach, your divorce can be simpler and less controversial.
Divorce lawyer Stuart Skok in Montgomery County, Maryland as well as her remote office in Maryland, has dedicated experience in mediation and collaborative divorce. She can help you get through the divorce process in a less adversarial way.
How Collaborative Divorce Differs
In a traditional divorce, matters like property division and child custody are disputed and often brought to court for a judge to decide. In a collaborative divorce, couples work together to come up with a settlement arrangement that they both agree on. Asset division, child support and other matters are decided together, with the help of a trained, skilled mediator or collaborative divorce professional, and all disputes are resolved by working together to come up with solutions.
Divorce mediation and collaborative divorce are often less expensive due to fewer attorney fees. They also take less time, as there are no court appearances or litigated fights to resolve. They allow for more flexibility and give each spouse more control over their future. Working together to find solutions also reduces the stress and emotional strain of the divorce process.
Skilled collaborative divorce professionals may also employ the help of child specialists, mental health professionals, financial professionals and other divorce coaches to help ensure the mediation process is carried out efficiently and effectively. This team of professionals can help you and your spouse come to an arrangement that is legally sound and works for everyone’s benefit.
