In Collaborative Divorce you and your spouse engage in a process of negotiating and reaching agreement on all aspects of the divorce. This is done with the assistance and support of a highly trained professional team. There is no “battle” because there is no court and there are no judges making decisions for the family: however, Collaborative Divorce is still a legal process and one that involves the law. Although attorneys are integral to the legal process, the Collaborate Divorce interdisciplinary team also includes a Financial Neutral, a role most often filled by a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™ and one or more mental health professionals. A CDFA can provide expert and thorough financial analysis to bring clarity and understanding to what can often be a complex situation for most persons involved in a divorce.

If you are preparing for or are involved in a Collaborative Divorce, Darlys can provide CDFA services as the Financial Neutral. Darlys, working without bias, can play a key role in establishing a sense of fairness and financial equity by helping you and your spouse understand your individual financial issues so both of you can make confident decisions for your short-term and long-term financial futures.
