Collaborative Divorce

Divorce doesn’t have to be adversarial. Collaborative divorce is a respectful, team-based approach that keeps families out of court while protecting relationships, privacy, and emotional well-being. Tania can be the mental health neutral on the team who offers support and competent care as you reorganize your family throughout this process to help you move forward with clarity and care.

What is Collaborative Divorce?

A Smarter, Healthier Way to Divorce

Collaborative divorce is a private, structured process that helps couples resolve legal and family matters without going to court. Each person is supported by a collaboratively trained attorney, and the process also includes a neutral mental health professional and financial specialist to help the family make thoughtful, long-term decisions.

This approach is particularly helpful for parents and others who want to preserve a working relationship after the separation. It focuses on problem-solving rather than conflict—and helps couples reach agreements with dignity and mutual respect.

Why Choose Collaborative Divorce?

  • Keeps decisions private and out of court

  • Reduces stress and emotional cost

  • Protects children from unnecessary conflict

  • Preserves relationships—especially for ongoing co-parenting

  • Creates thoughtful, lasting agreements that work for everyone
