Excellent primer on the collaborative divorce philosophy and practice. I wish this was available a few years ago so I could have saved a friend from a traditional, drawn-out and painful divorce process.

Thanks for writing such a clear explanation and providing great sources describing collaborative divorce. It seems like collaborative law refers to the process of removing disputes from the "fight and win" setting of a courtroom into a "troubleshoot and problem solve" setting of negotiations, am I right? Do you know anyone for whom this type of divorce really helped?
