North Carolina Family Law Blog
Collaborative divorce is a legal process in North Carolina that provides divorcing couples with an amicable alternative to family law litigation. The goal for Winston Salem collaborative divorce attorneys is to help the parties enter into a settlement agreement that resolves all issues and meets the needs of each other as well as the needs of the children.
To begin the collaborative divorce law process in Forsyth County, NC, the parties and their divorce lawyers enter into an agreement that governs how the process will occur and establishes a commitment to achieving a mutually beneficial outcome. One of the key features of collaborative divorce is that if the process fails and either spouse decides to commence litigation, both collaborative lawyers must withdraw and the parties must retain completely new attorneys.
Another key feature of collaborative law is the involvement of neutral, third-party professionals who can provide the parties and their attorneys with expert advice on the parties' financials and their mental health and emotional wellbeing. While a financial natural and mental health neutral are not always needed, they often play a vital role in ensuring the collaborative law process is a success for everyone involved.
