The Practice Group and the Financial Collaborative Divorce
It is important to understand that working with a divorce financial analyst in the collaborative divorce setting requires all professionals involved in the case to develop trust relationships and teamwork skills that have no place in a divorce lawyer's ordinary practice. The locus for developing these relationships and skills is the practice group. Practice groups are spontaneous organizations of collaborative lawyers, financial professionals and mental health professionals who work in the same geographic region and expect to work together on cases. (In some communities, members will sign formal collaborative participation agreements only with other professionals who are actively involved as members in the local practice group.) In the practice group, trust relationships are built, documents and protocols for practice are devised and kept updated, professional development activities are sponsored, and public education campaigns are implemented. Practice groups can be found everywhere that collaborative divorce practice is found.
The practice group helps lawyers and divorce financial analysts to avoid common pitfalls associated with lack of definition or inconsistent assumptions about how the work will proceed. Each completed collaborative team case provides a wealth of knowledge about what worked well and what did not ' information that can be shared in the practice group not only among the lawyers and divorce financial analyst who worked on that case, but with the larger community of colleagues who will work together on other cases in the future. A smoothly functioning interdisciplinary collaborative practice group can facilitate case debriefing that enhances members' shared understanding of the groundwork required for lawyers and divorce financial analysts to function as a smooth professional team on collaborative cases.
