Collaborative Family Law - An holistic approach to divorce and/or seperation
If you are contemplating seperation or divorce then read on to find out how Collaborative Family Law can help you ..............
When couples face the prospect of their marriage or long-term partnership breaking down, the dilemma they are faced with on whether to seperate or divorce can bring about huge complications.
First of all, let us consider what leads to such a breakdown, it could be:-
- An affair
- Domestic Abuse
- Mental Abuse - Control & Manipulation
- Breakdown in communication
- Issues over children from previous relationships
- Financial issues
- Falling out of love
- Leading seperate lives - going in seperate directions
- Other pressures, such as life changes
Whatever has lead to the breakdown of the marriage/partnership, couples now have a choice on how they wish to proceed. Collaborative Family Law is an option that some couples are now choosing above the old system where couples often felt under pressure by the court.
What is Collaborative Family Law?
- You and your spouse/partner are in charge of the process - it is your settlement
- All discussions in 4 way face to face meetings
- Your collaborative lawyer is present at meetings to help articulate and secure your interests
- Discussions focus on your concerns and the interests of each of you and any children
- You and your collaborative lawyers commit to resolving issues without going to court
How does it work?
- You and your spouse/partner commit to providing information and disclosure in an open and honest way
- Your collaborative lawyer will provide legal advice and guidance throughout the process
- Your collaborative lawyer will work in a non-confrontational way with your spouse/partner and their collaborative lawyer to reach resolution
- Both collaborative lawyers will consider with you and your spouse/partner whether to involve other professionals such as:-
- Trained counsellors, who can help you emotionally and improve communciation between you and your partner
- Trained life coaches, who can help you to adapt to changes and move on or deal with stress and anxiety.
- Financial experts e.g. if you and/or your spouse require business/tax advice
- Child experts who can help children deal with the prospect of their parents' seperation and overcome any psychological issues

Meantime, if you want to avoid going through a seperation process then talking to a counsellor or life coach will help you to decide whether divorce or seperation is the right choice for you, at this time? However, if you have already made up your mind to go ahead with the proceedings then getting further support will help you deal with the process more effectively.
