Collaborative Team Professionals

Collaborative Divorce offers the services of legal, mental health and financial professionals working together as a team to help our clients through the divorce process.  Given that the outcome will impact lives long after the divorce is final, the goal of Collaborative is to help both parties make thoughtful, proactive decisions.

Legal – Attorneys handle the legal aspects of the divorce to ensure that all arrangements are proper, legal and binding.

Emotional – Mental health professionals may include a licensed marriage/family therapist, psychologist or licensed clinical social worker who functions as a divorce coach to help you deal with stress or any emotional issues that may arise for both parties, including children, and to teach communication skills to avoid impasses.  Psychological stability, from both sides, is essential to making the right decisions and reaching a peaceful settlement as soon as possible.  Cases with difficult custody issues may also employ a child custody specialist to assess and communicate the unique needs of each child.

Financial – Financial specialists are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS™ or CPA's and Certified Divorce Financial Analysts who specialize in the financial and tax aspects of divorce.  Their purpose is to help both parties reach a mutually acceptable financial agreement while assisting in making manageable, long-term decisions.

Collaborative Professionals offer very specialized services, having undergone extensive training in collaborative mediation methods and procedures.  We have developed insights into all aspects of the divorce process and how our three independent professions can work together for you.

 How Do I Get Started?

Ideally, people would resolve their problems & difficulties and remain happily married.  However, we recognize that many marriages simply will not survive and that divorce is inevitable.

When a marriage cannot be maintained, our goal is to help you reach a mutually agreeable divorce, begin healing and hopefully save you considerable expense & stress in the process.
There are collaborative professionals located both in southern and northern Nevada.  For additional information and for the name of your nearest Collaborative Divorce Professional please visit our Find a Collaborative Professional page.
