By: Chad Layton, Esq.
Deciding to end your marriage is a big step, period.
Generally, this decision comes after you have done everything that you can think of to save the marriage, and it has been unsuccessful.
When you know that it is time to go forward with a divorce, you may want to consider the following questions.
-
Do I want to fight my Husband/Wife in court?
-
Do I want to end my marriage with a legal battle?
-
Do I want to fight in court for 18 months or more?
If your answer to all of these questions is no, then I would encourage you to consider a respectful and peaceful alternative to divorce litigation, Collaborative Divorce.
The Collaborative Divorce process does not involve any fighting in court. Instead, a team of professionals works with you and your spouse to identify and resolve all of the issues in your divorce through a collaborative marital settlement agreement.
After all of the unique issues and finances in your marriage are resolved, your collaborative divorce attorney will file the uncontested divorce in court and finalize the matter without incident.
