If you and your spouse are seeking a divorce in Orange County, Florida and are hoping to avoid going to court, collaborative divorce may be a consideration. Even if one of you has already filed for divorce, the collaborative process can still be used.
Collaborative divorce is intended to be a non-adversarial process. Both parties will voluntarily provide all relevant information to each other. The parties and their attorneys will meet and discuss settlement options. It may be necessary to have a series of meetings, settlement negotiations and/or mediations. The goal is to reach an agreement on all issues while avoiding the time and expense of litigation.
One important aspect of collaborative divorce is that, if a settlement is not reached, neither attorney may represent the parties in the contested divorce. Talk to your Orlando Divorce Attorney about whether or not collaborative divorce is right for you.
