Recently there has been a drastic increase in gray divorce, where individuals over 50, in long lasting relationships, decide to end their marriage. When making a major decision around ending a relationship with a spouse, you want to ensure you have the right representation. The most notable approach to divorce is litigation. However, there are other methods such as mutual consent, mediation, and collaborative. Attorney Harris values a collaborative approach to ending the marriage. The collaborative divorce is a method of negotiating a divorce settlement outside of court. The two parties reach an agreement on each aspect of the divorce contract, including child custody, visitation, and financial assets. The benefit is the separating parties set the terms instead of the court and resolution happens quicker.
