In this article, our Will County cooperative divorce lawyers explain cooperative divorce and collaborative divorce. In both a cooperative divorce and a collaborative divorce, the parties and their attorneys sign an agreement to freely exchange information and negotiate issues surrounding the divorce in good faith outside of court. If negotiations are successful, both collaborative divorce and cooperative divorce tend to save both parties significant, time, money, and stress by avoiding in-court litigation. Our Will County collaborative divorce attorneys explain the differences between cooperative divorce and collaborative divorce as well as the pros and cons of each.
