Collaborative Separation & Divorce Victoria
Collaborative Separation & Divorce Victoria is an association of skilled and caring professionals who are specially trained to work Collaboratively with families in transition, including separation or divorce, and resolve differences out of court. The Collaborative process can also be used in the creation of cohabitation and marriage agreements. Our Members are lawyers, financial professionals, child specialists, and parenting and divorce coaches.
We customize an out-of-court settlement process to uphold what is important to you and your family. Property and debt division, parenting arrangements, support – whatever your circumstances, the Collaborative process can help you resolve your outstanding issues.
What is the Collaborative process?
The Collaborative process is a supported, out-of-court process in which separating couples are empowered to work together with a team of committed family specialists to resolve differences, create a separation agreement, and plan for your family’s future.
Why choose the Collaborative process for your family law matter?
The Collaborative process intentionally reduces the intensity of conflict, is more amicable, less expensive, and faster than the adversarial court system. Where children are involved, the process prioritizes their best interests. This efficient and solution-focused process can be customized to your family’s needs.
