The Difference Between Divorce Combatants and Settlement Specialists
Traditional divorce attorneys are trained to fight. Collaborative divorce attorneys are trained to settle.
That distinction is critical when children are involved.
Why High-Conflict Divorce Harms Children
When attorneys act as combatants, conflict escalates. This often leads to:
- Increased hostility between parents
- Breakdown in communication
- Emotional stress for children
- Ongoing post-divorce litigation
Children absorb this conflict long after the divorce ends.
How Collaborative Divorce Attorneys Help Parents Succeed
Collaborative divorce attorneys act as settlement specialists, focusing on:
- Problem-solving instead of blame
- Custom solutions instead of court orders
- Reducing emotional escalation
- Protecting long-term co-parenting relationships
The goal is not to “win.” The goal is to build durable, workable agreements.
A Faster, Healthier Divorce Process for Families
Litigated divorces involving children often take 18 months or longer. Collaborative divorce is intentionally efficient and focused, with most cases resolving in six months or less.
That means:
- Less disruption for children
- Lower emotional and financial costs
- Faster family stabilization
