Divorce sm
, a new form of marital dispute resolution, is

cross-disciplinary team approach to solving divorce, property division,

T he essence of the process is a contractual commitment of the parties, their lawyers, and other professionals not to litigate, and to provide full disclosure of assets and income. If no agreement is reached and either party institutes litigation, both attorneys must resign. T he team of professionals includes experienced domestic relations lawyers and coach/therapist for each party, a single mutually selected neutral finance advisor, and if needed, a child specialist. |
