Dedicated Legal Counsel On Your Side

Collaborative Divorce In Monmouth County

The divorce process is often presented as stressful, drawn-out and highly litigious, but it does not have to be. Many couples are committed to resolving their differences without high levels of conflict so they can complete the divorce process efficiently and cost-effectively.

In New Jersey collaborative divorces, couples commit upfront to resolve all matters without litigating. Both parties generally retain attorneys who are trained and experienced in collaborative divorce to assist them through the process. The attorneys in collaborative divorce typically agree to withdraw from the case if the two sides cannot reach an agreement on any matter and the parties decide to litigate.
