Divorce is rarely pleasant. But it doesn't have to be ugly, brutish, destructive and poisonous. Your options for handling your divorce have recently expanded. In addition to a "do-it-yourself" process, litigation and mediation you can now choose a collaborative divorce. In this process you have full legal representation and proceed in a structured process aimed at negotiating an equitable settlement directly. A "do-it-yourself" process two parties who are unable to agree on how to live together must now agree on how to terminate the relationship on their own. In mediation a neutral party "referees" the process but does not represent the interests of either party. In litigation the attorneys talk to the court, and the court dictates the outcome. In collaborative divorce the parties retain control over the outcome, and protect their privacy throughout.
