In a litigated divorce, it’s all about winning and losing, not how to keep the family unit healthily intact, but when you use a collaborative divorce approach, there is a team of mental health experts and divorce coaches available who can help open the…

By Rebecca Medina When couples enter into the collaborative process, both spouses and their respective attorneys, financial neutrals, divorce coaches, and mental health experts agree to resolve their marital issues respectfully, encouraging the family unit to be separate and intact once the divorce is finalized.
