If you’re considering collaborative divorce, you may be wondering what the process actually looks like. At Simple Divorce, we believe that clarity brings comfort—so here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect.
The process begins with a mutual commitment: both spouses agree not to go to court and instead work together to reach a resolution. Each person retains their own collaboratively trained attorney, and a team of neutral professionals—such as financial specialists or child therapists—may be brought in to support specific needs. From there, a series of structured meetings are held where everyone works together to identify goals, exchange information, and negotiate terms.
Throughout the process, the focus remains on respectful communication, creative problem-solving, and shared decision-making. Unlike traditional litigation, there are no surprise tactics or courtroom battles—just a calm, private space to work through important issues like parenting plans, asset division, and support arrangements. The result? A personalized agreement that reflects your values and sets the stage for a healthier future.
