NCDP: FAQ - Is CP faster than conventional divorce?

Is Collaborative Practice a faster way to get a divorce?

Your situation determines how quickly your divorce process proceeds.

However, Collaborative Practice can be more direct and efficient. By focusing on problem-solving — instead of blame and grievances — there’s an opportunity to strive for respectful results. Full disclosure and open communications assure that you cover all the issues in a timely manner.

And since you settle out of court, there’s no wait for the multiple court dates necessary with conventional divorce.

About CP

Going through divorce can make you feel isolated and alone, unsure of where to turn for support and advice.

Unlike conventional divorce, the collaborative process offers you a team of skilled and compassionate professionals.

The team members, each an expert in his or her own field, help you manage the many aspects of divorce — the legal issues, emotional turmoil, concerns for children, finances and property matters.

With such support you’ll feel more in control of the divorce process itself, and better equipped to begin a new life.

Will CP work for me?

If the following values are important to you, Collaborative Practice is likely to be a workable option:

I want us to communicate with a tone of respect.
I want to prioritize the needs of our children.
My needs and those of my spouse/partner require equal consideration, and I will do my best to listen objectively.
