Most divorces are negotiated between the spouse’s attorneys, while some divorces utilize alternative dispute resolution like mediation and collaborative divorce. An older study found that about 86 percent of collaborative divorces resulted in full agreement on every issue by both spouses. The remaining 14 percent usually had at least a partial agreement on some issues.
While it is unclear what today’s agreement rates are when collaborative divorce is implemented, many couples have questions regarding what happens when this type of alternative dispute resolution is unsuccessful. If your collaborative divorce negotiations have come to a standstill, it is time to consult an experienced Bloomingdale, IL divorce lawyer from Mevorah & Giglio Law Offices.
