In the United States, the vast majority of divorces are now uncontested, meaning that they are resolved largely outside of the courts. Many divorcing couples find that it is easier to work with each other to come to fair and equitable solutions to child custody and support arrangements, alimony payments, property division, and the other issues which arise during divorce.

How Collaborative Divorce Works
Collaborative divorce was popularized in the 1990s as an alternative to traditional divorce litigation. It is a voluntary arrangement, with the emphasis placed on both sides working together throughout the process to ensure that each spouse comes away from the table satisfied that their needs have been met.
The collaborative divorce process is governed by a participation agreement, freely signed by both parties. This agreement is crucial to preserving the fairness and equality that lies at the heart of the collaborative divorce. The agreement generally states that:
- The lawyers assisting with the collaborative divorce will not litigate the case should the process fail, ensuring that it is in their vested interests to prevent litigation from being necessary.
- Neither party will take advantage of mistakes made by the other side.
- Neither side will hide relevant information.
- Everyone involved will act in good faith.
More and more people are finding that the collaborative divorce process is an excellent way to ensure that both spouses can be as happy as possible with their divorce agreement. With collaborative divorce, the process can be quicker, less expensive, and less emotionally trying than traditional litigation.
