Collaborative law is a constructive way to divorce. By respecting each other's positions, agreements evolve more easily. In collaborative law, the spouses agree that they will settle the divorce through collaboration, not litigation.

• In collaborative law, you and your spouse control the decisions—not a judge.

• Collaborative law focuses on creating a positive future and preserves bonds with children and other family members.

• You, your spouse, and your lawyers sign a pledge to collaborate and to reach an agreement without going to court.

• If you change your mind and decide to go to court, you must retain new counsel. Your collaborative law attorneys will not represent you in court.

• You and your attorneys meet face-to-face in four way meetings and collaborate to reach an agreement on all issues involving the distribution of property, support, and your Parental Rights and Responsibilities (when children are involved).

• You can also have your financial planner, tax and/or business advisors attend some of these four way meetings.

If you have questions about whether collaborative law is right for your divorce, call the NH Divorce & Mediation Center. We also work with clients who prefer mediation in a divorce.
