Let the Olympic Games begin! The 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics are the first in history to be hosted by two cities, as Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, will be the shared site of awe-inspiring feats on the Olympic stage. From the fashion capital of Milan to the dramatic peaks of Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Milano Cortina Games will stretch across northern Italy blending world-class winter sport with breathtaking alpine villages.
Cooperation and collaboration, not competition, is a winning strategy in divorce. Bringing home the gold happens when you choose the Collaborative Divorce method because it reduces emotional strain, lowers legal costs by avoiding lengthy court battles, and fosters an amicable, respectful, and private resolution.
Everyone is a winner with Collaborative Divorce as it creates the foundation for a workable solution to help divorcing couples. Some people are unfamiliar with the benefits of Collaborative Divorce, and once they hear about its numerous advantages, they are excited for the possibility of the following:
- Open communication guided by clear boundaries from interdisciplinary professionals, including two collaboratively trained attorneys that represent each spouse, a neutral financial professional, and a neutral facilitator who is a licensed mental health professional;
- Cooperation supported by legal insight;
- Flexibility paired with structure;
- Efficiency without shortcuts;
- Encouragement of reasonable compromises;
- Parenting plans that are clear and child-focused; and
- A process that keeps moving forward without unnecessary delays.
Collaborative Divorce is a team sport. When divorcing couples can lower costs, lessen conflict, and maintain control over decisions affecting their lives and the lives of their children, they can build a more future-focused relationship.
Sportsmanlike conduct is what Collaborative Divorce is all about. In a collaborative setting, there is a spirit of cooperation, transparency, and compromise. The most successful negotiated agreements tend to be those that meet at least some of the needs of both parties. Collaboratively trained attorneys explore a range of options that might work in building a satisfactory settlement.
As a collaboratively trained attorney, I advocate for my clients and streamline the divorce process through negotiation and mutual agreement. Ultimately, the reduced conflict and emphasis on respect in Collaborative Divorce helps couples maintain healthier relationships post-divorce, benefiting all family members.
