A better divorce?

Welcome back! I hope you will consider adding your thoughts or questions to the comment sections of our Alabama divorce and family law articles. Also, you can contact me directly by visiting the Contact Page. Thanks again for returning to our site.
I’ve been reading a lot about the process called collaborative divorce.
Collaborative divorce is an alternative way for divorcing spouses to resolve their disputes without going to court. Although it is a relatively new approach, having only originated in the early 1990’s, it is quickly spreading throughout the country. The latest estimates are that there are approximately 200 different groups of lawyers that have joined together in associations to promotre and practice collaborative divorce. It seems like this might be an idea whose time has come.
For those of you that have had personal experiences in the collaborative divorce model, I welcome your feedback by direct e-mail or in the comments section. I am currently involved in a project to begin a collaborative divorce practice group in Alabama. As information on that effort develops, I will post about it here.
