Big fan and I’d encourage everyone to look into it before you call a divorce lawyer!

Benefits of Collaborate Divorce:

1. It promotes a peaceful resolution - Collaborative divorce encourages a peaceful and respectful resolution to your divorce. Instead of fighting over every little detail, you and your spouse can work together to come up with a solution that meets both of your needs.

2. It saves time and money - Collaborative divorce is typically less expensive than a traditional divorce because you are not paying for court fees and attorneys to argue your case. Additionally, it can be quicker because you are not waiting for court dates or decisions from a judge.

3. It prioritizes the needs of children - If you have children, collaborative divorce can be beneficial for them. It allows you and your spouse to work together to create a parenting plan that best meets your children's needs. This can help reduce conflict and stress for everyone involved.

4. It allows for creative solutions - Collaborative divorce allows for more flexibility in finding solutions that work for both parties. Instead of being limited to what a judge may order, you and your spouse can get creative and come up with unique solutions that fit your specific situation.

5. It preserves relationships - Finally, collaborative divorce can help preserve relationships. If you have children, you will continue to have a relationship with your ex-spouse. Working together in a collaborative divorce can help improve communication and set the foundation for a healthy co-parenting relationship moving forward.

You got to love going in for a temporary hearing and coming out with a final order in a modification case. Good for the parents. Good for the kids.

Good reminder today.

I published this at Lew Rockwell , and I think it has relevancy here, both in terms of our churchly institutions as well as what it means to confess.
