Celebrity divorces are usually done collaborately

Several celebrity divorces in the news this week. Christina Aguilera and Courtney Cox are two that come to mind...

Now, one thing that a lot of people notice with celebrity divorces is that it doesn't take two years. There are exceptions of course. The Kim Bassinger case...they've been fighting over custody for ever and ever. But most of the time they are done relatively quickly...somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 to 6 months...it's wrapped up and the folks are divorced.

Why? Because they are divorcing collaboratively. On average a collaborative divorce will take 3 to 6 months, whereas a litigated divorce, where you are constantly at the mercy of the court's schedule, is going to take anywhere from 18 to 24 months.


So, it's really a significant time difference. The amount of emotional trauma is minimized because you can get everything done relatively quickly and it also minimizes the cost, because the less time that attorneys spend with clients, the less fees are going to be associated with it.
