How Does Collaborative Divorce Assure Good Divorce Decisions?

September 21, 2020 By Brie Reyes

Collaborative Divorce

The adversarial justice system ensures that the accused can push back, and fight allegations brought by the state. But that system rarely produces an equitable result when families go through a divorce. In many instances, one or both spouses find themselves in difficult post-divorce financial circumstances. Strained budgets typically lead to selling a family home and displacing children from school systems, friends, and the community they’ve grown to appreciate. That’s why an increased number … [Read more...]

All hearings needed in pending cases but deemed … [Read more...]

Collaborative Divorce – What You Should Know

August 23, 2019 By CD Texas Staff - s.t. Leave a Comment

collaborative divorce

More and more in recent years, divorcing couples have been turning to a hybrid process known in Texas as collaborative divorce, which combines a lawyer’s advocacy and legal know-how with the problem-solving orientation of divorce mediation.
