For the large majority of families, the benefits of the collaborative divorce process (privacy, respect, non-adversarial nature) far outweigh the cons.
However, in some instances, collaborative divorce is not the best fit to address the issues in your divorce.
Collaborative divorce is not the best solution for you IF:
- REVENGE – If you or your spouse is seeking revenge through the legal system. If you or your spouse is seeking a long, drawn-out divorce to make the other spouse suffer, then the out of court collaborative process is not your best bet.
- VINDICATION –If you or your spouse need to have a judge enter a ruling that one of you is “right” and one of you is “wrong”. If you or your spouse requires that a judge hear evidence and take testimony in court to render a ruling and determine who is right and who is wrong under Florida Law, collaborative divorce is not the best solution for you.
- DELAYS – One of the hallmarks of the collaborative divorce process is moving forward promptly and not having to wait for court dates. If you or your spouse wants to drag the divorce out for as long as possible, then collaborative divorce is not the best process for you.
