Naperville Divorce Lawyer With a Collaborative Law Approach
If you and your spouse have made the decision to divorce, the two of you may choose a collaborative law approach to your divorce. Many divorcing couples are able to work together to resolve the important issues of divorce with the assistance of legal counsel and other professionals. In a collaborative law approach, both parties retain collaboratively trained attorneys. Collaborative divorce is typically less expensive than traditional litigation, and keeps the divorcing spouses in control of the issues and the divorce.
The collaborative law approach to divorce is a reasonable approach based on three principles:
- A pledge not to go to court
- An honest exchange of information by both spouses
- A solution that takes into account the highest priorities of both adults and their children

DuPage County Family Law Attorney: Collaborative Law
Successful collaborative divorce meets the best interests of both parties, especially the children. If the two of you are able to talk over issues and trust one another, you are good candidates for collaborative divorce. In collaborative divorce, just as in any other approach, the following issues must be addressed, including:
- Child and spousal maintenance
- Child custody and visitation
- Custody and parenting agreements
- Property division
In making decisions using the collaborative process, it is often helpful to bring in third-party neutral professionals trained in the collaborative approach to provide advice on creating parenting plans, establish the value of a business or assist in a division of assets that meets the best interests of both parties, especially the children.
