FAQs

What is the test for deciding custody cases?

The Best Interest Standard is the test a court will use to decide with whom your children should reside and how much parenting time the other parent should receive, taking into account many factors.

Who are suitable candidates to participate in the mediation process?

Couples who want to avoid the cost and emotional upheaval of a litigated case. Couples who want to spare their children the pain of a protracted litigated custody fight. Couples who want to resolve their disputes and still maintain respect for each other. Couples who can truly be reasonable and appropriately flexible.

How expensive is Collaborative Divorce?

Because there are no court appearances and little paperwork, the total cost of hiring the Collaborative Divorce Team is usually less than the cost of hiring two lawyers to litigate a divorce. The actual cost depends on how long it takes to reach an agreement that is acceptable to both parties.

Why must a lawyer resign if the other side decides to go to court?

The requirement that all lawyers be disqualified in the event of a breakdown guarantees that all participating counsel will be totally and exclusively motivated to make the process succeed. Thus, all participants are equally and fully invested in finding the solutions to all problems. More subtly, it is believed that the way people participate in negotiation, and especially the way lawyers participate, is affected by the certainty that that lawyer will never litigate the case. Openness, candor, and cooperation replace guardedness, secrecy, and threats as the techniques most likely to achieve ultimate success. Walking out in anger, or provoking the other side to do so, ceases to be a viable tactic.

What can Collaborative Divorce lawyers do if negotiations reach an impasse?

Professionals participating in the Hudson Valley Collaborative Divorce and Dispute Resolution Association have developed specific strategies for avoiding and dealing with impasse. If initial efforts are unsuccessful they have agreed to act as mentors for each other to assist in reviewing problem cases or situations. Additionally, Collaborative Divorce participants can agree to employ experts to advise both sides as to disputed facts or law. Finally, Collaborative Divorce team members and parties can hire an arbitrator, a mediator or consultant at any time.
