Chicago Cooperative Divorce Law - What are the Benefits?
Cooperative divorce law - our newest non-court approach to divorce - provides a myriad of benefits.
It creates and maintains a non-confrontational climate that helps the soon-to-be ex spouses communicate in ways that minimize the stress and uncertainty of divorce.
It gives the parties positive guidance in reducing conflict, so they can move toward reaching a mutually acceptable settlement as opposed to having to go to court.
By staying out of court, the spouses are able to maintain their financial and personal privacy. Contrary to what normally occurs in the court system, they do not run the same risk of having their affairs become a matter of public record.
Cooperative divorce law keeps children in mind. It supports healthy co-parenting and helps the children to adjust to the changes they will undergo.
The cooperative approach focuses on the parties' concerns and emotions, and thus enables them to discuss their grievances in a positive and healthy manner. This, of course, gets the emotional debris out of the way and facilitates practical problem solving.
Cooperative divorce law also prevents the escalation of conflict and gives the parties control over the cost, length, and outcome of their divorce. When the parties are able to co-author their financial futures, the probability of future problems become minimal and finality becomes possible.
