Collaborative Divorce

A Collaborative approach to divorce offers the privacy of mediation and the security of having your own advocate to guide you.  A typical Collaborative Divorce Team consists of an attorney for each individual, one or two Divorce Coaches and a Financial Neutral like Brenda.  Depending on need, other professionals like a Child Specialist may be involved.

What are the fundamental responsibilities and benefits of the CDFA® in a Collaborative process?

Working with you as a neutral CDFA®, Brenda can help you and your spouse to make informed decisions about your financial futures.

As a financial neutral, Brenda compiles, organizes, and educates the couple about the financial information relating to your divorce.  They are not on a “side,” rather their role is to help you understand enough about your finances to make informed decisions about your settlement and the impact on your future. 

In a Collaborative Divorce

Additionally, Collaborative Divorce allows you the benefit of coaches, child and financial specialists all working together with you on your team. In Collaborative Practice, core elements form your commitments to this process, which are to: Negotiate a mutually acceptable resolution without having courts decide issues. Maintain open communication and information sharing. Create shared solutions acknowledging the highest priorities of all.
