Your Options For A Less Combative Divorce
Largely there are two ways of pursuing litigation alternatives for a less combative divorce. The most common option is through mediation which allows the two spouses to negotiate a settlement outside of a courtroom with the guidance and oversight of a neutral third party.
In Mediation, the mediator – often an attorney – does not counsel or represent either party, but rather assists each through the legal process of negotiating the settlement. However, each party has the option of retaining a consulting attorney to advise them in their decisions. Once the two parties come to an agreement, a settlement will be drafted and presented before a judge.
The second alternative is collaborative law. This allows both parties in divorce to negotiate outside of the courtroom without the necessity of a mediator. Each party has their own consulting attorney, but the spouses come to terms and draft their settlement without a third-party mediator. The draft is then presented before a judge to be entered.
