What is a collaborative divorce?

A collaborative divorce is a type of divorce that is becoming increasingly popular in Oklahoma. It is a less adversarial legal process that allows both parties to work together to resolve issues without going to court. This type of divorce focuses on amicably resolving all of the issues that are associated with a divorce. In a collaborative divorce, both parties hire their own attorneys and enter into a written agreement. This agreement outlines the process for resolving their issues and that all communication between the parties will remain private, without the need for court hearings. It also requires the attorneys to withdraw from representing their clients if either party decides to go to court at any point during the process. In a collaborative divorce, the parties and their attorneys work together to jointly create a settlement agreement. This agreement is developed through negotiation and compromise between the parties and their attorneys to reach an agreement that is fair and equitable for both. The collaborative divorce process is often cheaper and less time-consuming than a standard divorce, while preserving the integrity of the relationship between the parties. Additionally, collaborative divorces are private and confidential, ensuring that neither party is embarrassed by proceedings seen in a court of law. Depending on circumstances, collaborative divorce can be a useful and effective way to move on with life quickly and amicably.
