IACP stands for International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and I am a proud member of this group. Every year, the IACP holds an International Forum where collaborative professionals from all over the world join together for networking and educational experiences. This year, the Forum was held in Las Vegas, Nevada. I had the pleasure of meeting professionals from all over the United States, Canada, Europe, and China. It's hard to put into words the energy and inspiration that I felt while attending this event. These collaborative professionals and I truly believe in the Collaborative Practice. We see the many benefits and life-changing moments that this process can bring to our clients during difficult and emotional times in life.
The Collaborative Practice is an out-of-court process for handling divorce and family law matters. Parties will work with a team of collaboratively trained professionals in an atmosphere much more conducive to the emotions parties experience during these difficult times. This process focuses not only on the divorce, but on the future and toward positive restructuring the family. The parties can utilize neutral professionals such as a divorce coach, financial specialist, and child specialist to help with the various issues. Each spouse will also have their own collaboratively trained attorney to represent them. At the end of the day, the clients are making the decisions about their family, not a Judge. The process also promotes an atmosphere of mutual respect, maintains confidentiality, and requires open and full disclosure so that the clients can make informed decisions.
The Collaborative Practice is one option for parties going through a divorce in Michigan. To find out about the other options and to decide if the collaborative approach is right for your family, meet with a collaboratively trained professional to find out more.
