Like mediation, collaborative divorce is private and hands-on. However, you and your spouse will work with a larger team to reach an agreement. In addition to a mediator, you may work with a financial advisor, a mental health professional, an accountant, an asset appraiser, and others.
The Negotiated Settlement is an agreement reached by the parties outside of court but not necessarily through the mediation process. In San Diego County the court requires a mandatory settlement conference as a mandatory step before your divorce case goes to trial. If a negotiated settlement is reached, the parties will avoid the emotional and financial ordeal of going to court. The negotiations remain confidential and allow for a little more flexibility.
