Why You Should Opt for a Collaborative Divorce in Land O’ Lakes, FL

Are you concerned about how long your divorce is going to take and how much money you’ll need to spend on it? If so, you might want to consider a collaborative divorce, which is a service that the Law Offices of Audrey A. Jefferis, P.A., offers to clients in Land O’ Lakes, Florida. Unlike a traditional divorce, where each spouse is trying to “win,” a collaborative divorce requires the spouses to work together to reach a mutually agreeable settlement. Many divorcing couples opt to use a collaborative approach because it helps them:

• Get through the process more quickly
• Save money on attorney fees and other costs
• Avoid the stress often associated with litigation

What to Expect During a Collaborative Divorce

If you and your spouse opt to use a collaborative divorce, you’ll each be represented by a collaboratively trained attorney. You’ll also be working with a neutral facilitator, a neutral financial professional, and possibly other professionals (such as a guardian ad litem or a child specialist if there are children involved). Anything you discuss during the collaborative divorce process will remain confidential, and if you’re ultimately unable to reach an agreement, you and your spouse will each need to hire a new attorney for the subsequent proceedings.
