Collaborative Divorce is a flexible process with a timeline based primarily on the needs of the clients. Of course, some factors are outside of the control of the professionals involved, such as the time required for a home appraisal, business valuation, or particular education or vocational needs. The process takes longer with more complicated cases.

It's natural to want a predictable timeline in this time of change and stress. Know that Collaborative Practice recognizes the value in going slowly enough to make sure the needed details and emotional concerns are addressed, but quickly enough to keep both members of a couple feeling like progress is being made. Louise may be able to give you a rough estimate based on your particular situation; however, much depends on the clients.
