Why do you have to get me involved?

TimbyHunt - Divorcing While Keeping The Children in Tact I had a conversation recently with another attorney who relayed that a prospective client proposed collaborative divorce to his wife and her response was "You're not getting off that easy!" Well, does she think she was going to get off easy?

First, no divorce is easy. I doubt you will find one person who on the day they got married fully expected to get divorced. Most people don't enter into marriage without at least some commitment to it. Also, most married people don't have a child, thinking that they will ultimately live apart from the child's mother or father. Any divorce is traumatic and hard.

So, obviously, sitting down with the person you probably dislike more than anyone at that point in time is harder than turning it over to an attorney.

But, in collaborative, parties have to make the decisions along with legal counsel. These are not easy decisions but they are your decisions and they are made with a pro. In five, ten, fifteen years you will at least feel that during the divorce you had a say in your future. You didn't sit back while attorneys and judges told you what your future would be.
