If you're a woman facing a later-life divorce in Virginia, you might want to consider a
collaborative divorce. In a collaborative divorce, your divorce is a team effort, rather than an adversarial process.
A collaborative divorce gives you access to professional guidance that can help you make better decisions and find more creative solutions during your divorce. You and your soon-to-be-ex will each have a
Virginia divorce attorney and a divorce coach of your own. There will also be one financial specialist and one child specialist, both of whom are neutral.
All that's required of you and your spouse during your collaborative divorce is that you be civil and cooperative with one another and with the team. You also agree not to pursue litigation against each other during the
collaborative divorce process.
In a later-life divorce, the partners are more mature, so they may be better able to negotiate and talk honestly about their assets and post-divorce arrangements. They may also be more interested in a divorce that doesn't lead to as much emotional and financial stress.
Collaborative divorce is not for everyone but if you're going through a later life divorce and you feel that you and your spouse can work together to end your marriage in peace, it's worth looking into.
Whatever your reasons for considering a later-life divorce, you should seek the advice of a
Virginia divorce attorney.
