Divorce Atlanta Discusses the Advantages of Collaborative Divorce

    ATLANTA, GA, May 05, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When filing for divorce in Georgia, collaborative divorce has been proven a more effective tool than traditional divorce methods according to this experienced Atlanta divorce attorney. Traditional methods are very adversarial, promoting an atmosphere of insensitivity and noncooperation. Collaborative divorce is more beneficial for many reasons and yields significantly greater results.

Collaborative Divorce Is Cheaper

The divorce process is expensive. Collaborative divorce is much more cost effective than litigation.

When engaged in a more adversarial approach to divorce, a large portion of any funds being fought over end up going into the pockets of the divorce lawyers for each party.

The lawyers that are involved in the collaborative process both have it in their best interests to reach a mutually beneficial agreement between you and your spouse. There is also a financial incentive to make the collaborative process work. Neither lawyer will succeed unless they can help you and your spouse reach a viable solution.

Collaborative Divorce Is More Time Efficient

Divorces that are litigated can take up to a year or more depending on the complexities involved in each specific case. In a collaborative divorce, every issue can be ironed out within about four to six meetings.

Collaborative Divorce Eliminates Stress

The collaborative process eliminates many of the added stresses that are typically inherent in any divorce proceeding and rids the divorce of its adversarial tone. This methodology requires both attorneys and the parties to act as a team collectively and in good faith.

Neither side takes advantage of the other and this leaves room for an open, honest exchange of information and ideas, creating more productive dialogue and negotiations.

Collaborative Divorce Gives You Control

Even though each party has their own lawyer, you and your spouse will shape the settlement and have most of the control. The overall outcome is in the hands of the parties and not a judge. This allows for more detailed and complete agreements that fully encompass what each party wants out of the divorce.

"Collaborative divorce is the best way to not only get the most out of your divorce settlement but also maintain an amicable relationship you have with your spouse. By handling your divorce collaboratively and with respect, you avoid unnecessary hardship in the future," says Steven R. Jacob.
