Your Situation In Your Words
One of the biggest red flags that should pop up for anyone who is looking for a collaborative separation in Barrie or any other place is when they meet with an attorney who doesn’t take the time to listen to their story.
The end of every marriage is always different. Yes, sometimes the reasons may be similar or even exactly the same. But the individuals themselves, the emotions and many other details will always be unique.
Understanding Your Options
After you have explained your situation to a quality legal representative, the next step will be working out what it is that you can expect, as well covering what exactly it is that you are looking for. This and various additional information will be necessary for the next phase:
Formulating a Strategy
Even though a collaborative divorce is usually cordial and amicable, it still doesn’t mean that you don’t have to fight a little bit from time to time to get what you want. No matter how civil you and your soon-to-be ex-partner are trying to be, chances are they are going to try and get the best end of the agreement for themselves. You must go in with a game plan and a lawyer who can get it done.
Initiating Negotiation/Mediation
In a perfect scenario a couple might use the same attorney to really make the process go smoothly. But in many cases, the two parties will have their own lawyers to mediate on their behalf. Once everything else on the list has been covered, this is all that’s left before moving on to the next chapter of your life.
