How To Begin The Collaborative Divorce Process

How do I begin the collaborative divorce process?

To begin the collaborative divorce process, you need to seek out a collaborative divorce professional. How do you do that? Most of my clients find me by word of mouth or Internet referral. So do a web search under “Collaborative Professional,” “Collaborative Practice.” There's an international association of collaborative divorce professionals called the IACP. I believe it's collaborativepractice.com. That's where you find trained collaborative divorce professionals. Talk to your minister. Talk to your banker. Do you have somebody in your life that you go to on financial issues? Do you have an accountant? Do you have a therapist? Do you have a financial planner? Go to these people and ask them, who do they know in the collaborative divorce profession? Use your due diligence. Make sure that you end up with someone who's trained by the IACP, and then that person will help you build your team of professionals.
