Types of divorce: contested, uncontested & collaborative
The three different kinds of divorce proceedings include the following:
- Collaborative family law
- Contested
- Uncontested
A collaborative family law proceeding emphasizes open communication and a cooperative settling of disputes. Using specially-trained divorce attorneys in Bergen County along with family counselors and financial specialists, the collaborative approach seeks to help family members understand their highest priorities and work together to achieve shared goals. Negotiations progress toward a mutually acceptable settlement under which the needs of all family members are recognized and honored.
A contested divorce in Jersey City is one in which the spouses cannot reach agreement on key issues. Lacking the ability to find common ground and arrive at a settlement of important issues, the spouses present their respective cases in court, and subject themselves to the rulings of the court once both sides are heard.
A Jersey City uncontested divorce is one in which the spouses agree on specific terms for ending the marriage without resorting to court rulings. While the outcome may not be entirely amicable, both spouses agree to resolve their differences outside of the courtroom and thereby avoid the costs and uncertainties of divorce litigation.
Collaborative divorce for men
When a husband or wife seeks a collaborative approach to a Jersey City divorce for men, both spouses and their attorneys agree to negotiate in good faith outside of court, to honestly share information, and to resist taking advantage of mistakes made by the spouses and attorneys. The goal is to achieve reasonable settlement and peace of mind.
Advantages of collaborative family law
A divorce using collaborative lawyers in Bergen County offers a number of advantages over traditional divorce proceedings:
- Usually less expensive and faster than traditional litigation
- Removes some stress from the proceedings
- Keeps control over the proceedings in the hands of the spouses and their attorneys, rather than a judge
