What issues can a Florida Collaborative divorce resolve?
Direct Answer
A Collaborative divorce can resolve all of the issues that a litigated divorce would decide. The underlying law is the same — Chapter 61 of the Florida Statutes still governs equitable distribution of property, alimony, parenting plans, and time-sharing.
A Collaborative divorce can resolve all of the issues that a litigated divorce would decide. The underlying law is the same — Chapter 61 of the Florida Statutes still governs equitable distribution of property, alimony, parenting plans, and time-sharing. What changes is the setting: rather than a judge imposing a decision, you and your spouse design the agreement yourselves with your attorneys and, when helpful, neutral financial and mental health professionals. This often allows more tailored and creative outcomes around parenting schedules, business interests, and the division of assets than a court would typically order.
