A Florida statute details the requirements of a Collaborative Divorce. It is a formal agreement that both parties and their attorneys enter into at the start of the case. The goal is to get a written agreement that resolves all of the divorce issues between the parties, so it seems like a regular divorce. However, If a written settlement agreement is not reached, the attorneys for each side must withdraw, and the case goes forward with new attorneys.
A collaborative divorce usually costs more, and it usually involves a couple with a large amount of assets. Ask us if your case and situation should be a collaborative divorce or a regular divorce.
