FAQ's - Collaborative Practice

How does it minimise the hostility often present?

Collaborative Practice is guided by a very important principle: respect. By setting a respectful tone, it encourages the divorcing spouses to demonstrate compassion, understanding and cooperation. In addition, Collaborative professionals are trained in non-confrontational negotiation, to help keep discussions productive. The goal of Collaborative Practice is to build a settlement on areas of agreement, not to perpetuate disagreement.
