One of the benefits of the collaborative divorce approach is the future well-being of the entire family:

1. The collaborative process is better for the children. They are given a voice in the process to minimize potential trauma that can last for generations.

   
   

2. You remain in control. You decide the outcome of the collaborative process rather than a judge who will tend to make decisions based on expediency and on a "one size fits all" view of the divorce process.
   

3. You enjoy confidentiality. Family problems as well as finances are kept private.
   

4. Solutions are mutually beneficial. The collaborative process allows each party to be heard and presupposes that each has unique needs, interests, concerns and goals.
