Collaborative divorce is when both parties work together to resolve their differences without litigation. In Florida, collaborative divorce gives the parties more control over the divorce and allows them to customize the marital settlement to fit their specific needs.

Is a collaborative divorce different than mediation?

By Florida Law Advisers, P.A. |

Typically, in a collaborative divorce there is no mediator. Instead, the parties and their attorneys work together to negotiate terms. A mediator is an independent, third-party designed to help parties negotiate. In collaborative divorces, a mediator can be used but is generally avoided to help reduce costs.

What are the requirements for a collaborative divorce in Florida?

By Florida Law Advisers, P.A. |

Both parties must agree to a collaborative divorce. Before negotiations begin, both the spouses and their attorneys enter into a participation agreement. Under the participation agreement, both parties agree to disclose all relevant information and cooperate with each other to resolve all the issues in the divorce.

Is a collaborative divorce quicker?

By Florida Law Advisers, P.A. |

Yes, a collaborative divorce can be much quicker than a contested divorce. A collaborative divorce avoids litigation and court hearings, which can slow down a divorce case. Instead of waiting for a judge, the parties work on their own schedule to resolve the case.
