Why the Collaborative Team makes Divorce easier

September 11, 2025 By Diana Telfer

One of the most powerful parts of collaborative divorce is the team approach. Instead of facing everything alone, you have a group of caring professionals walking alongside you and your family. Each person brings their own strengths, so you are supported in every area that matters most.

Your Attorneys: Steady Legal Guides

Divorce comes with lots of questions about rights, responsibilities, and paperwork. Collaborative attorneys are there to guide you through the legal side of things. Their goal is not to fight, but to help you and your spouse find fair solutions that work for your family and are not limited by the law.

Financial Neutrals: Clarity around the Numbers

Money can feel overwhelming during divorce. A financial neutral helps both spouses see the full picture—assets, debts, budgets, and future plans. With their support, financial decisions feel less stressful and more informed.

Coaches: Support for Communication and Emotions

Divorce is not just a legal process; it is an emotional one too. Coaches help keep conversations respectful and productive, even when emotions run high. They support you in communicating clearly so decisions can be made with less conflict.

Child Specialists: Keeping Kids at the Heart of it all

If you have children, their well-being is the top priority. A child specialist helps bring your children’s needs and perspectives into the process in a healthy way. They guide parents in creating parenting plans that truly work for kids at every stage.

Why it works

When each professional focuses on what they do best, families can move through divorce with less conflict, more clarity, and greater peace of mind. The team approach helps you feel supported, understood, and prepared for the next chapter of your life.

Money Talks in Divorce: Why You Need a Financial Neutral on Your Team

Learn why the choice of divorce professionals is crucial to the process. I’ve mentioned this in previous blogs but which professionals you choose to retain in your divorce will be the one of the strongest indicators of whether your divorce will be litigated in court. Picking the right professionals is critical to whether your case […]

Testimonials

When working through my divorce I did not understand many of the implications of my decisions and Diana was able to explain how the decisions would affect me and my kids, all while showing compassion for stress and emotional duress I was experiencing during my divorce. Diana’s guidance saved me from some serious issues around alimony along with parent time issues I would have experienced if I would have tried to file on my own. Even though my Ex and I were trying to divorce amicably, there were many issues and having Ms Telfer as an advocate to draw on her experience to see both long and short term implications of the decisions being made has proven to be well worth the expense. I have been able to refer to my decree a number of times when disagreements have arrived with my ex that had the potential to have cost me much more in follow up than I spent up front. I know there are many different styles of attorneys and I interviewed a number of attorneys before selecting Diana due to Diana being the best fit for what I was trying to accomplish. I recommend doing your research especially if you are not simply looking for a “hired gun” but looking for someone who has a strong sense of justice and can think outside the normal channels to solve issues.
