Cooperative Divorce is an efficient approach to divorce that emphasizes civility in an effort to minimize financial and emotional cost. Divorce does not have to be an adversarial, complex, and expensive process. Cooperative Divorce emphasizes voluntary exchanges of information, cooperation, and joint planning in an atmosphere that fosters respect between parties and attorneys.

However, if parties engage in the Cooperative Divorce process and are unable to reach an agreement on some or all issues, they may choose to use the litigation process to resolve their disputes.

Their attorneys can help them litigate:

  • Discovery disputes
  • Temporary orders
  • Substantive issues

Some parties prefer to preserve the option to litigate, while also committing to reach agreements they believe are in their family’s best interest.
