In employing the Collaborative Divorce Mediation process, you agree to opt out of the judicial system and work in the Collaborative Divorce Mediation process with your team of collaborative professionals. Your team will assist you in resolving disputes respectfully using cooperation and problem-solving, which is a non-adversarial, no court divorce approach. With the help of the team, negotiations between the parties are interest-based rather than positional.  In other words, each party's interests, as well as the needs of the children, is considered when crafting a resolution, looking at "middle ground" or third options. When the Collaborative Divorce Mediation process is successfully completed, the parties may consult with a separate collaborative attorney to review any documents prior to signing them.

Negotiations are handled on an informal level, with each party attending a series of structured meetings in which both spouses meet with the Collaborative Divorce Mediation team and discuss the resolution of the divorce. One major difference between the Collaborative Divorce Mediation process and other approaches is that the clients themselves craft the terms of their divorce and the final outcome rather than having an outside third party decide the outcome for them.
