Shattered Lives: Collaborative Divorce

Guests: Psychologist Elaine Ducharme, Phd and Attorney Robert B. Fried

Typically when a relationship fails and divorce is imminent, couples often get emotionally charged and begin not only blaming each other for the failure of the marriage, but begin a battle of fighting for everything they can get. When children are involved, they are unwittingly put into the middle of the battle and often used as pawns by adults who are supposed to be looking out for their best interests.

From a financial standpoint, Collaborative Divorce can alleviate the cost involved in lengthy courtroom appearances and legal fees while attorneys try to fight for the interests of their separate clients, and appointed attorneys for their children, causing even more stress for all parties involved.
