The Divorce Consulting Process

When you and your spouse just need a little legal assistance with your paperwork

What is Divorce Consulting?

Divorce Consulting is a very efficient and low cost divorce process for couples who wish to confer with each other, instead of family law attorneys, to determine their arrangements for separating and divorcing. Once their agreements are set, they can engage the services of two Separating Together member attorneys.

The spouses and their attorneys sign the collaborative pledge. The attorneys are available for consultations one-on-one with each spouse to answer questions as they come up in the couple’s discussions.

When the couple has agreed to the terms of their separation, they jointly meet with both attorneys to explain what has been agreed upon. The attorneys will prepare the legal documentation necessary for a binding Separation Agreement and Property Settlement. The attorneys also file the necessary court action to obtain a divorce decree.

When is Divorce Consulting an Appropriate Divorce Process?

Divorce consulting is appropriate when the legal issues involved are not complex and the couple is communicating well and with little conflict.
