Many people find themselves growing apart from their spouse after decades of marriage. After the children are grown and out of the house, a couple may decide to get divorced in order to lead their own lives. For this reason, later life divorces tend to be more collaborative.
Letting the courts decide on your Virginia divorce agreement may not make sense; after all, you and your spouse know more about your marriage, property, and assets than an impersonal third party. A collaborative divorce allows you and your husband to work with a team of experts in order to settle your divorce amicably. By going through a collaborative divorce, both parties work together to reach an agreement and can walk away feeling as though they were treated fairly.
If you are interested in going through a collaborative divorce, you should contact an experienced Virginia Beach collaborative divorce lawyer. The Virginia divorce attorneys at Hofheimer/Ferrebee represent women only, and will promote your best interests during the collaborative divorce process
Virginia Collaborative Divorce Explained
Collaborative divorce is a new approach to divorce in which both parties and a team of experts work together to reach a divorce agreement. In order to go through a Virginia collaborative divorce, both parties must agree to the process. These proceedings do not take place in the court; both you and your husband come to agreement, and then go to court to receive the final divorce decree.
One of the interesting things about a collaborative divorce is that your Virginia collaborative divorce lawyer must agree that if the divorce cannot be settled out of court, he or she cannot represent you if the case proceeds into litigation. This gives the attorneys added incentive to settle your Virginia divorce agreement without resorting to trial.
