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.

Testimonials

I was in an extremely high conflict divorce and custody battle that dragged on for 18 months. Diana was amazing to work with and I never could have settled this difficult situation without her expertise. Diana walked me through the entire process. Along the way she would tell me what my options were and give me all the information I would need to make difficult decisions. She always had my best interest and the best interest of my kids in mind. She had a lot of empathy for what I was going through and tried to remedy things as best she could. I felt like Diana had a lot of integrity and I could trust her. She was extremely knowledgeable and always prepared. She worked very professionally with a custody evaluator, Guardian ad Litem, various mediators, Commissioner, Judge, and a very difficult opposing counsel. She has a great reputation in her professional community, as evidenced by her rapport with the other professionals involved in my case. Diana was easily available by phone or email and often consulted with me during stressful situations in the evenings or on weekends. She was straight forward about timelines, cost, and what would be next in the process. Though the experience with my divorce was not something I would ever recommend or wish to go through again, I would whole-heartedly recommend Diana as the strong and competent attorney to get you through it.
