If you are interested in the collaborative divorce process, contact an Illinois collaborative divorce lawyer or call us at 847-241-4209 for a free initial consultation about your situation.

Helping You Achieve a Mutually Beneficial Agreement

Collaborative divorce is truly family-focused. This process allows you to, in effect, write your own divorce settlement. There are four basic stages to the collaborative divorce process:

• Articulate your goals: You and your spouse will work together to find out what you hope the divorce will accomplish.
• Gather information: Take a look at your assets and how you feel might be the best way to divide your property.
• Explore your options: You and your spouse can work on brainstorming your options for property division and child custody/visitation if children are involved.
• Review all child-related issues with attorneys and coaches.
• Create an agreement: With the help of your attorneys, you and your spouse will be able to create a mutually beneficial, legally binding divorce agreement.

At the law firm of Bush & Heise, Attorneys at Law, our lawyers will work alongside you every step of the way with compassion and sensitivity. We can hire experts in areas of finance, child specialists, and mental health coaches.
