As a Boise Divorce Attorney I have many people asking me about the benefits of collaborative divorce. While the idea of a collaborative divorce is appealing, is it really anything new?
Many divorce attorneys seeking to find their "niche" will tell you that this is the new, kinder and gentler divorce. Frankly, I don't see this as anything new. As a Boise Divorce Attorney who has practiced law for 17 years I can tell you that I have seen cases where people naturally get along better than others. It is in a situation like this where a collaborative divorce may "work".
The International Academy of Collaborative Divorce Professionals put forth a set of criteria to determine whether or not you might be a candidate for collaborative divorce. They consist of things like respect, placing your children first and self control. Divorce tends to be a highly emotional time. People who are in a divorce situation generally no longer get along, hence the need for the divorce in the first place. There are, however, those individuals who divorce and still get along, who still see each other regularly and who are still friends. This, however, is not the norm. For most people who are seeking a divorce, collaboration does not work because there is too much conflict.
I do not believe that the idea of a collaborative divorce is a bad thing, but I do not believe that is anything new. If you and your soon to be ex still get along you may be a candidate for collaborative divorce. If, on the contrary, you are like most people seeking a divorce collaboration is not a practical solution.
