Is a collaborative divorce binding?

In Mississippi, collaborative divorce law is a process which is specifically used in divorce proceedings to come to a mutually agreed upon settlement outside of a courtroom. It is important to understand that the outcome of a collaborative divorce is not legally binding unless both parties sign a legally binding contract agreeing to the terms. This document is referred to as a settlement agreement and must be signed by both parties before it can be considered legally binding. This document is then filed with the court and can be enforced by law. Without this agreement, the court cannot enforce the terms of the settlement. In a collaborative divorce, both parties must agree to the entire settlement in order for it to be considered binding. All of the issues in the divorce settlement must be resolved and agreed upon, in writing, before the settlement will be considered legally binding. This document is then filed with the court and can be enforced by law. It is important to note that a collaborative divorce is not considered final until both parties sign the legally binding settlement agreement. Once the agreement is signed and filed, both parties must abide by the terms of the settlement. If either party violates the terms of the settlement agreement, the other party may take legal action to enforce the settlement.
