Collaborative Professionals of Nevada - About Collaborative Practice

Introducing Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative Divorce represents a revolutionary approach to family law. The Collaborative Divorce model represents a major departure from traditional methods of divorce by avoiding court and addressing the significant, but often overlooked, impact of divorce on personal health and financial matters.

The most important distinction with the Collaborative Divorce process is that the courts are never involved until the final decree. A team of Collaborative professionals, made up of attorneys, mental health professionals & financial professionals, guide the parties to a mutually agreeable divorce settlement. This is the only method of divorce that formally incorporates the services and benefits of three professions to help you through what may be the most difficult time of your life.

The goal of Collaborative Divorce is to provide a method of dissolving a marriage that reduces the stress, time & expense normally associated with a traditionally litigated divorce.

Collaborative Practice

The Collaborative Divorce model was created in 1990 by Stu Webb, an attorney practicing in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Webb observed the destructiveness of the traditional adversarial models for practicing family law and felt there had to be a better way. He created the Collaborative Divorce model and founded a rapidly growing movement throughout the United States, Canada, Australia & several European countries.
