Collaborative Divorce at Kelley Carson Law
“Less is more only when more is too much.” ― Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright's motto was "Truth against the World". This motto reflects his commitment to his architectural vision and his belief in organic architecture, which emphasized harmony with nature and a rejection of superficial ornamentation. So, you might wonder why a divorce attorney is talking about an architect. FLW rejected the norms of the time in which he lived and sought a different way. A way that did not just consider the building but its environment. I believe collaborative divorce is similar in that we don't just consider the marriage but do so in an organic and holistic way. The process addresses the parties, the children, and the finances in a manner that is least least harmful. Litigated divorce, the kind we see in movies, is "too much" for a family to bear both emotionally and finacially. Collaborative divorce is a different approach to divorce.

What is a Collaborative Divorce?
Peaceful, Out-of-Court Resolution for Couples
Collaborative Divorce offers couples a cooperative and private alternative to traditional litigation. In this voluntary process, both spouses and their attorneys commit to resolving marital disputes without court intervention. Each spouse retains a collaboratively-trained attorney, and the process may involve professionals such as a financial neutral and mental health neutral to assist in reaching a fair and comprehensive settlement.
Collaborative divorce is particularly beneficial for couples seeking to preserve amicable relationships, especially when children are involved. It tends to be more cost-effective and quicker than traditional divorce, with many cases concluding in less than six months. One main benefit of Collaborative Divorce is it allows the spouses to make the decisions instead of leaving the decisions in the hands of the courts. Watching couples conclude their divorce without ever stepping into a courthouse is rewarding to the team. Spouses often walk away from the process feeling proud about how they conducted themselves throughout. That is a great way to start the rest of your life!
