KarinWeiri, LMFT is a certified collaborative divorce professional. What is a collaborative divorce? This is a process where both parties are willing to negotiate their differences and settle outside of court, hence avoiding the stress and cost of litigation in court. Each person hires their own attorney and there is a licensed therapist and a financial planner on the team who are all trained and certified in the collaborative divorce proceedings.The process is a step-by-step structure that is followed in these cases. First you meet with your attorney and your spouse meets with their attorney where you discuss your goals and limits.Then the four of you meet and in between will be meetings set up with the therapist and the financial planner.

What are the benefits of the collaborative divorce? • Saves money • Informal setting • Information exchange is free, open, informal, and honest • Saves time • You can decide now how to handle post- settlement disputes • You negotiate results that work for you and everyone involved. The collaborative divorce is especially beneficial if you have many assets and if you have children as you are there to focus on what is in the best interest of the children and learn how to continue to work together as co-parents post- settlement. In addition to this I run a monthly FREE Compassionate Divorce Recovery group. Sign up and join us at https://www.meetup. com/Orange-City-Divorce-Support- Meetup/
