Can a collaborative divorce result in a court order?

Yes, a collaborative divorce in Delaware can result in a court order. In Delaware, couples are allowed to participate in a collaborative divorce, which is an alternative to filing for a regular divorce in court. In a collaborative divorce, both parties agree to work together to reach an agreement related to divorce-related issues such as property division, parenting arrangements, and alimony or child support. The parties will meet with their respective attorneys and financial advisors to negotiate and mediate their agreement. Once the parties reach an agreement, the attorneys will draft the appropriate court documents that need to be filed. The parties will then present their agreement to the court to obtain a court order. The court order will then become the legally binding agreement between the parties that governs their rights and responsibilities with regards to the divorce-related issues. It is important to note that both parties must be in agreement and sign the court order for it to take legal effect. In addition, the court retains the right to review and disapprove the agreement if it does not satisfy state requirements.
