What is Collaborative Practice • legal advice • full financial disclosure • counseling support • neutral financial advice • neutral child development advice
Standard/Traditional Divorce • Marriage is contemplated by the law as a civil contract, for which the consent of the contracting parties, capable in law of contracting, is essential.
No Fault Divorce? On the petition of either party to a marriage, a district court may decree a dissolution of marriage on any of the following grounds: • Incompatibility; • Cruel and inhuman treatment; • Adultery; or • Abandonment.
The average collaborative divorce is completed in 17 WEEKS; the average litigated divorce takes 17 MONTHS. Why Collaborative Practice?
Collaborative Practice targets deep resolution, not shallow peaceby constructively dealing with real human concerns
Roles of the Attorneys • Provide information: legal rights, responsibilities and duties • Make sure all legal issues are considered. • Assist clients in assessing and articulating values, interests, options, and settlement packages. • Coordinate relevant facts necessary to reach a lasting resolution. • Assist in evaluation of alternatives. • Facilitate consensus • Finalize paperwork for submission to Court
