How do I ensure that both parties are represented fairly in a collaborative divorce?

Ensuring that both parties in a collaborative divorce are represented fairly in California is important. To accomplish this, each party should have their own attorney who specializes in family law and who is trained in the collaborative process. The attorneys will meet separately with each party to explain the legal process and how it works in detail. They will help each party understand their rights and obligations during the divorce process. Additionally, they can help the parties reach an agreement by helping them understand the other’s interests and motivations, and helping the find potential solutions to conflicts. In order to ensure both parties are represented fairly, each party should have the right to view all documents relevant to the case, such as custody and property agreements. Additionally, each party should be given the opportunity to present their case with the help of their attorney, and they should be given the chance to review any proposed agreements. Both parties should receive a copy of any agreement negotiated so that they are aware of the details and their rights and obligations. If both parties are having difficulty agreeing on a settlement, a neutral professional may be called in to help. This professional should have no stakes in the outcome of the settlement and should be independent of both parties and their attorneys. Their job is to help facilitate a resolution that is fair to both parties. By having both parties represented fairly and ensuring that the agreement is fair, both parties can be confident in the outcome of the collaborative divorce.
