Can a collaborative divorce be reversed?

Yes, a collaborative divorce can be reversed in some cases in New York. The process of a collaborative divorce is different than a conventional divorce in that parties are working together to reach an agreement rather than individually. In some cases, if the parties are unable to reach an agreement, the collaborative divorce process can be reversed and the parties can move to a conventional divorce. In New York, reversing a collaborative divorce can be done through a document called a “Non-Binding Agreement”. This document is signed by both parties and allows for the court to hear the divorce case if either party is unsatisfied with the results of the collaborative divorce process. This document also outlines any agreements that have been reached thus far and allows for any of the agreements to be negotiated further in court if necessary. It is important to note that the reversal of a collaborative divorce process is not uncommon, especially when the parties are unable to agree on certain terms of the agreement. If the parties decide to reverse the collaborative divorce, they can either proceed with a conventional divorce or enter into alternative dispute resolution like mediation. It is important to remember that reversing a collaborative divorce can be a time-consuming process, and it is wise to seek the counsel of a lawyer who can guide you through the process and provide advice. Furthermore, parties should both consult their own lawyer as well, to ensure that their interests are adequately represented.
