It's rare to see couples who are divorcing in the same room, getting along and compromising. Usually, splitting spouses approach one another in the stereotypical acrimonious fashion and duke it out in court. But for those who are committed to a civil - and more private -- divorce, there's another option. Collaborative divorce offers an environment in which spouses and their legal counsel work out every detail together - instead of in an adversarial fashion. Not only does the team include lawyers, but it also includes a neutral financial specialist, divorce coach and child custody specialist, if applicable. Each attorney collects information on behalf of his or her client and presents it to the group, adding his or her recommendations.
