Choose dignity, privacy, and control when ending a marriage. Texas couples now have the option to consider a Collaborative Divorce—a courtfree, team-based legal process that empowers families to resolve separation issues respectfully and efficiently. Each spouse hires a specially trained collaborative attorney. Teams may include neutral financial advisors, mental health professionals, or child specialists. If negotiations succeed, the team drafts and signs a settlement, then presents it to the court. If discussions fail, both attorneys withdraw, and parties must start fresh with new counsel.
A voluntary, structured negotiation process for divorce. Spouses and attorneys commit in writing to resolve all divorce-related issues without court. Confidential discussions, full disclosure of finances, and joint meetings promote transparency.
