Collaborative Divorce in Illinois
A collaborative divorce is another approach to terminating a marriage. Unlike a contested divorce, both parties are willing to work with each other and agree to move forward without going to court. A collaborative divorce tends to be more civil and less complicated than the traditional contested divorce procedure.
In the collaborative divorce both spouses commit to:
• A binding written pledge not to go to court
• A full and honest exchange of financial information
• A solutions-based approach
