Understanding the Collaborative Divorce Process

When most people picture divorce, they picture a courtroom, two sides, and a judge deciding how it all ends. But that isn't the only option, and for a lot of families, it isn't the best one. I sat down with family law specialist Diana Martinez to talk through a process that lets couples resolve things without ever handing those decisions to a judge. In my video, Diana breaks down what collaborative divorce actually involves, who it's a good fit for, and why the highest cost in any divorce usually isn't what people expect. Watch my video to see whether this path might make sense for your situation.
