Business Valuation in a Collaborative Divorce
The collaborative divorce process uses alternative dispute resolution methods in a field that, at first blush, seems immune to such techniques. Before starting in on the process, the participants must execute an agreement stating that they will not seek a litigated resolution to their matrimonial dispute; rather, they will work toward a peaceful negotiated settlement of all issues. With this framework in place, participants in a collaborative divorce can dissolve their marital union with dignity and respect, and formulate an agreement that will more likely be adhered to over the long run.
Divorcing couples using the collaborative process still generally need help navigating the complex emotional and financial issues surrounding the dissolution of a marital relationship. They may choose to have the assistance of several professionals at the negotiating table, including counsel, accountants, psychologists, divorce coaches and other facilitators of their own choosing.
