A Non-Adversarial Approach to Divorce
Divorce can be an extremely difficult process. It requires couples to make major decisions at a time when they are at their most vulnerable. The last thing divorcing spouses need is a fierce argument over who gets to keep the dishes. Working amicably to reach a reasonable settlement can help couples avoid unnecessary resentment and preserve the integrity of family relationships.
Collaborative divorce is an innovative, non-adversarial alternative to divorce litigation. At JSB Law PC, we have a thorough understanding of Illinois divorce laws and are trained in collaborative divorce. We are dedicated to helping clients in northern Illinois reach resolutions that help them start building a better future for themselves and their families.
Are you looking for a low conflict divorce? Collaborative divorce is an amicable alternative to divorce litigation. Contact our office to learn more about this new and cooperative process.
Collaborative divorce allows couples to reach settlements without the need for contentious courtroom drama. In this process, both spouses, each represented by a lawyer, agree to resolve divorce-related issues through mediation and negotiation. A team of professionals, which may include neutral financial experts, mental health workers and child psychologists, help the couple resolve contested matters such as child support, spousal maintenance and property division.
Making Your Voice Heard in Child Care Matters
Parents have greater flexibility in coming up with acceptable child care agreements when working in a cooperative setting, rather than in an adversarial setting. Because parents know their child better than a court does, they are in a better position to make decisions that affect the child's future. Using the collaborative process, spouses are to develop individualized agreements that take the child's schedule and preferences into consideration.
Cost-Effective Divorce Resolution
Because collaborative divorce involves reaching settlements with minimal court intervention, it is substantially less expensive than litigation. The cost of hiring experts is shared. Rather than having each individual hire a separate financial expert, the two people only pay for one. This allows a couple to retain more of the marital assets.
