Collaborative Divorce: Create a Lasting Divorce Settlement Without Court Intervention

Collaborative Divorce is for couples who want to work together to create the best possible outcome for both parties and want to stay out of court.  This option is for couples who want to keep their financial information private and confidential. Elizabeth Hill of the Hill Law Firm, P.C. is trained in the collaborative process and supports families to help create win-win solutions.  Elizabeth offers services in Overland Park and throughout Johnson County, KS.

Collaborative Divorce begins with a phone call with Elizabeth to determine if her services are a good fit for your family. She offers virtual consultations; simply click here to schedule!

If you and your spouse decide collaborative divorce is the best option for your family, then you each engage a collaborative attorney, and the process begins. An agreement is made between all parties not to litigate. If one party decides to go to court, both attorneys are required to withdraw from the case. This incentivizes attorneys and spouses to remain at the negotiating table instead of disrupting the process to increase legal fees by incurring court costs.

A series of meetings is then scheduled between both parties and their attorneys. The couple works together during these meetings to reach an honest and amicable settlement. Both parties also have the support of a divorce coach (to help manage the ups and downs of the divorce process from a stressful and emotional perspective and assist with the Parenting Plan, if there are children) and a financial neutral (to assist in understanding future cashflow, creating financial working documents for settlement discussions and to otherwise help in developing financial solutions).

Collaborative Divorce is a unique approach and is made successful through its creative problem-solving approach. Because Overland Park’s Elizabeth Hill is dedicated to your success, she has completed extensive training through the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.
