Divorce with Dignity: Helping divorcing couples resolve their
differences in a dignified and respectful manner.
Collaborative Divorce is a fast growing discipline for addressing
family law issues in a non-adversarial manner. This method is particularly
beneficial to families with children. The spouses/parents are committed
to reaching solutions that will enable them to uncouple and form
new family units without the fear of revenge tactics. Special attention
is paid to the emotional aspects of dissolution. The parties reach
solutions that they have created, rather than having decisions forced
upon them. In the Interdisciplinary approach, Attorney Zito works
with other professionals who, as a team, help guide family members
to resolve legal, financial, and emotional issues.
The Collaborative Divorce Team is made up of the two parties,
an attorney and a mental health professional for each party, a neutral
mental health specialist for the children, and a neutral financial
specialist.
The benefits of collaborative divorce are as follows:
For spouses:
- Highly qualified professionals to assist them in addressing
legal, financial, and emotional needs
- Focus on creating solutions rather than creating more problems
- Emotional issues are acknowledged and addressed so that clear-headed
decisions can be made
- Spouses control the outcome, not judges and the legal system
For children:
- Children have a voice in the process Their needs are foremost
in the process
- Children are shielded from parental conflict
- Their concerns are relayed to parents by a neutral professional.
