Collaborative Divorce
A team-based process designed to help both people reach agreements without going to court.
This path may be a good fit when:
- both people want a more respectful process
- children, finances, and long-term family relationships matter
- there is a shared interest in problem-solving rather than escalating conflict
What to expect

Traditional Litigation
A court-driven process where each person has their own attorney and unresolved issues may ultimately be decided by a judge.
This path may be necessary when:
- communication has broken down completely
- one person is unwilling to participate cooperatively
- urgent court intervention is needed
What to expect
Litigation can provide structure and legal protection, but it often increases conflict, takes more time, and leaves more decisions in the hands of the court.
Mediation / Divorce Coaching
A guided process where a neutral mediator helps both people work through decisions and reach agreements together.
This path may be a good fit when:
- both people are willing to participate in good faith
- they want a more flexible and efficient process
- they need help communicating, organizing issues, and making decisions
What to expect
Mediation can reduce conflict and keep more control in the hands of the people involved. It is often simpler and more cost-effective, though it may offer less built-in team support than collaborative divorce.
