How Can A Harlem Collaborative Divorce Lawyer Assist Me?
Many couples believe that just because they both agree that they should get divorced, the divorce is collaborative. However, they may get hung up on common matters like dividing property or child custody. If you cannot agree on these matters, then you likely will have to go to court. The point of a collaborative divorce is to avoid going to court and avoid costly litigation.
However, it’s important to note that both spouses and their respective lawyers must agree to the collaborative method of divorce, which means committing to not going to court. Instead, your attorney can focus their time and resources on negotiating a divorce decree that is in your best interests and represents what matters most to you. We do this by getting to know you and your values, your needs, and what you want your post-divorce future to look like. This helps us help you prioritize your needs in the negotiation process and ensures it goes as smoothly as possible.
The Value Of An NYC Collaborative Divorce
Collaborative divorce doesn’t mean that there aren’t disagreements over some issues. Rather, it means that each participant agrees not to take small matters to court, saving both sides time and money and instead focusing on working out the best arrangement possible for the matter.
This can be a viable option if you are able to have practical, rational discussions with your spouse. For couples who do not have a lot of money or shared assets or who do not have children, collaborative divorce may work well, as there are few issues to argue about.
If you must maintain a cordial relationship with your ex, such as if you share custody of children or have a common business interest, then a collaborative divorce may help preserve a better relationship; constantly going to court, especially if your divorce goes to trial, can seriously damage an already-fractured relationship and can make your post-divorce interactions more contentious or uncomfortable.
Helping You In An NYC Collaborative Divorce
Collaborative divorce can establish a habit of compromise and give-and-take, which can be invaluable for couples who must maintain a relationship after the split. It can also save you money and time, which helps you get into a better place to rebuild your life after divorce. A Harlem collaborative divorce lawyer can help you prioritize your needs during a collaborative divorce and even represent your interests in negotiations and mediation. We’re ready to help you. Contact the Law Office of Daniel Clement today to get started.
