Why Choose a Low Conflict Divorce?

Most people think that there is only one way to get a divorce and to resolve the many issues facing a family when it is changing - by going to Court. In fact, you do have choices about the process used to resolve your issues during the restructuring of your family, including some low-conflict methods focused on settlements that achieve your highest goals for yourself, your spouse and your children, without the hostility and deterioration of relationships that often result from traditional litigation. Once you have decided that you want to proceed with a separation and/or divorce, the two most critical decisions you will need to make are the choice of the process you want to use and identification of the attorney you want to assist you through that process.

There are many advantages to choosing a low-conflict divorce over litigation, including:

• More control over the process of divorce, including the length of time to reach resolution and the overall cost.
• Opportunity to make the decisions that you feel are best for your family, rather than letting a third party (usually a judge or master) determine the outcome.
• Ability to explore a broader range of options for solutions to your issues than a court might have available due to the limitations of the law.
• Consideration of all of your family's needs and concerns, including legal, financial and emotional needs.
• More respectful and dignified process that allows you to preserve a better relationship with your spouse or partner in the future.
• Opportunity to protect your children from the harm and trauma that can result from a traditional divorce process and to work together with your spouse/co-parent to address your children's needs effectively.
