Archives: Collaborative Divorce

Although collaborative divorce has proven highly successful in certain cases, however, it has been a disaster in others. A new concept, cooperative divorce, is being developed as a settlement-based alternative to collaborative divorce.

While not professing to understand much of the extraordinary complexity of the mathematics, I find that there is a correlation between game theory and divorce settlement negotiations.

Collaborative divorce requires lawyers who believe in the process and commit to work to resolve problems. Collaborative lawyers use problem solving techniques to fashion a “win-win” approach to the case, rather than the intimidation and threats of going to court to litigate.

Collaborative divorce has been tried and tested in a number of states and is spreading throughout the country.
