Good Advice
Know Your Options When Considering Divorce
by Ann Block, Esq.
After litigating hundreds
of divorces, I have discovered
that choosing the best
approach for a particular
couple is a crucial first step.
LITIGATION involves two attorneys and
the Court process. Should the parties fail
to reach a settlement, the case proceeds
to trial and the fate of the litigants and
their children is determined by the Judge.
There is much time and

the parties in working

money wasted. The distrust
and acrimony
between the parties
increases as the litigation
progresses, often causing
irreparable damage to the
parties and their children.
MEDIATION involves a neutral thirdparty
mediator, usually an attorney or a
social worker. Both parties discuss the
issues with the mediator who assists the
parties in working out a settlement that is
mutually satisfactory. This process is best
when both parties communicate effectively
with each other and are sufficiently
knowledgeable about the economics of
their relationship.
COLLABORATIVE LAW involves two
experienced and trained attorneys who
protect and advise their clients. The parties
and the attorneys work together to
achieve a mutually satisfactory settlement
which fosters the needs of the parties and
their children. There is full financial disclosure
and experts are
retained when needed.
There is no wasted time,
thus the process is more
cost effective than litigation.
This process is ideal
for most divorcing couples
as it promotes settlement and minimizes
the acrimony.
