How do I reach an agreement with my spouse in a collaborative divorce?

Reaching an agreement with your spouse in a collaborative divorce in Mississippi can be a difficult process. However, it can be done with careful communication and negotiation. First, you and your spouse should each hire a collaborative divorce attorney. Your attorney will work with your spouse’s attorney to ensure a fair and equitable outcome for both sides. Working together, you and your spouse’s attorneys will identify and discuss all of the issues that need to be addressed in the divorce including property division, child custody, and spousal support, if applicable. Next, the attorneys will help you and your spouse negotiate a settlement agreement that meets the needs and interests of both sides. This may involve suggesting possible solutions to difficult areas of disagreement. During this process, couples are encouraged to communicate respectfully with one another and to focus on finding a resolution that works for both parties. Both spouses must be willing to compromise in order to reach an agreement. Once both parties are satisfied with the settlement agreement, the attorneys will draft the settlement agreement which the couple will review and sign. This agreement is then filed with the court and becomes legally binding. By using the collaborative divorce model, couples can avoid going to court and work together to reach a mutually beneficial settlement. This can be a time-consuming process, but it can also be a rewarding one as it allows couples to maintain control of their divorce and end their marriage amicably.
