Can a collaborative divorce be reversed?

It is possible to reverse a collaborative divorce in Alaska. Depending on the stage of the collaborative divorce process, a couple may be able to reverse their decision to divorce. If the couple has signed a collaborative divorce agreement but has not yet received the court’s approval, they may be able to reverse their decision by withdrawing the collaborative divorce agreement from the court. The couple can then enter into marriage counseling or negotiate a new marital agreement to try and resolve their issues. If the couple has already received the court’s approval on their collaborative divorce agreement, it is much more difficult to reverse it. The couple would be required to prove that there has been a significant change in their circumstances since entering into the divorce agreement. The couple can file a motion for a new hearing or a motion to set aside the divorce agreement. This would require the couple to prove that the circumstances of the divorce have changed, such as if the couple’s income has suddenly increased, or if one spouse has experienced a medical condition or psychological change that was not previously known. The court will take different factors into consideration when deciding if a collaborative divorce should be reversed, so it is best to speak to a family law attorney to discuss the specifics of the situation.
