Can a collaborative divorce result in a court order?

Yes, a collaborative divorce can result in a court order. In South Carolina, the process of collaborative divorce is overseen by a Collaborative Divorce Lawyer who represents each party in the divorce. The purpose of the Collaborative Divorce Lawyer is to help the husband and wife and their attorneys to work together to resolve all of the issues in their divorce, such as division of assets, agreed upon terms of alimony, and child support arrangements. Once all the issues of the divorce are agreed upon by both parties, the Collaborative Divorce Lawyer will then draft a “Marital Settlement Agreement” that outlines the terms of the divorce. This document is then presented to the court for review and if it is approved, the court will issue a court order to finalize the divorce based on the terms of the Marital Settlement Agreement. In South Carolina, this court order is typically referred to as a “Decree of Divorce” and both parties must abide by the terms of the final decree or face potential repercussions from the court. In the end, the collaborative divorce process can result in a court order that is legally binding and enforceable in South Carolina.
