Understanding Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative Divorce, offered exclusively at DeSantis Family Law, represents an alternative to traditional litigation. This approach empowers couples to resolve disputes amicably outside of court, with the support of trained professionals including collaborative attorneys, financial advisors, and child specialists. This multidisciplinary team ensures that every aspect-from emotional considerations to financial implications-is carefully addressed, ensuring comprehensive attention to your family's needs.

The Collaborative Divorce Process: Step-by-Step

1. Initial Consultation: Begin your journey with a confidential consultation at DeSantis Family Law. Attorney Emily DeSantis will discuss your unique circumstances and explain how Collaborative Divorce can be tailored to meet your needs. This personalized approach sets the stage for informed decision-making and constructive dialogue.
2. Signing the Participation Agreement: Both spouses, accompanied by their respective collaborative attorneys from DeSantis Family Law, will sign a Participation Agreement. This document underscores our commitment to transparency, respectful negotiation, and the avoidance of litigation. It establishes a framework for productive discussions and mutual cooperation.
3. Building Your Collaborative Team: At DeSantis Family Law, we recognize that each divorce is unique. Depending on your specific needs, additional professionals such as family coaches, financial planners, and real estate experts may join as third-party neutrals. These experts provide specialized guidance to ensure that all aspects of your divorce receive comprehensive attention, supporting a holistic approach to resolution.
4. Structured Meetings and Negotiations: The heart of Collaborative Divorce lies in structured meetings facilitated by our collaborative attorneys and third-party neutrals. These sessions are conducted with honesty, cooperation, and integrity, fostering productive dialogue and creative problem-solving tailored to your family's circumstances.
5. Customizing Your Agreement: Unlike court-imposed judgments, collaborative agreements crafted at DeSantis Family Law are customized to meet your family's unique needs and priorities. This flexibility allows for creative solutions that address financial considerations, parenting arrangements, and long-term well-being under the guidance of Attorney Emily DeSantis.
6. Finalizing Your Agreement: Once all issues are resolved and both parties reach a consensus, our collaborative attorneys finalize the agreement. This streamlined process minimizes court intervention and ensures that your divorce is handled efficiently and effectively.
