Can a collaborative divorce result in a court order?

Yes, a collaborative divorce can result in a court order in Mississippi. Collaborative divorce is an alternative to traditional litigation in which the divorcing spouses and respective attorneys sign a contract--an agreement to work together in a cooperative and respectful manner to resolve the issues in the divorce without having to go to court. Collaborative divorce proceedings are entirely confidential with a focus on providing the best outcome for both parties. In Mississippi, a collaborative divorce may result in a court order if the divorcing couple agrees to terms such as a division of assets, child custody and visitation arrangements, and/or other matters related to the divorce. If the divorce is settled through a collaborative process, the parties can ask the court to enter a court order that reflects the agreement they have reached. This court order will contain all of the details of the divorce agreement and it will legally bind both parties to its terms. It is important to note that the court order in a collaborative divorce is voluntary and is not a ruling from a judge. By using the collaborative divorce process in Mississippi, couples can resolve their divorce without having to go through the stressful and expensive process of litigation. Collaborative divorce allows the parties to retain control over the outcome of their divorce while at the same time preserving their privacy.
