- DivorceCollaborative Divorce is a process that enables couples who have decided to separate or end their marriage to work with a Gersten and Gersten collaborative divorce lawyer outside of a courtroom setting. The collaborative divorce process is voluntary and avoids the uncertain outcome of Court. The result is a settlement that best meets the specific needs of each party involved. Parties interested in participating in a collaborative divorce begin with signing a Participation Agreement that commits them to the process and eliminates the threat of future family related litigation. From that point forward, the involved parties work through divorce negotiations in a collaborative non-adversarial environment.
