We all suffer from crises. Becoming rigid and supporting disputes in these situations can make this crisis more complicated. For example, if we talk about divorce or separation, then there is the involvement of judges and lawyers in regular divorce cases. You can say that courtrooms usually get turned into battlegrounds. So, do you seriously think this is how one should handle these crises of their life? Here we will discuss why choosing collaborative law should be your priority. Let us first discuss what is a collaborative law or collaborative practice?
What is collaborative law?
Collaborative law or practice is a non-adversarial approach. In this approach, lawyers usually prefer not to go to the courtroom. They prefer negotiation between both parties. They work in mutual understanding. This practice promotes the ease of emotional and mental breakdown of individuals and works for their children's wellbeing.  
Reasons to choose collaborative law:
Now we will tell you the benefits of collaborative law, which help explain to you very well that choosing collaborative law is best for your divorce or separation.
1. Reduces disputes and hostility in family
When you choose collaborative law or practice, you get face-to-face sessions with another person. There is no dispute and hostility you may face in the courtroom because you cannot openly express all your opinions comfortably in that room. But collaborative practice allows you to do this.  
2. Children wellbeing:
The most important reason for choosing collaborative practice is the wellbeing of your children. When parents got separated, they are already facing an emotional breakdown. In this situation, if you are further accusing each other and getting frustrated with each other. Then this can make your child's condition worse.    
3. Focus on the problem's solution:
Collaborative lawyers focus on your problem's solution. They help you design a proper plan according to your needs, your point of conflict and problems.
4. Mutual problem solving:
In collaborative practice, both parties talk about their conflicts, and the issues are mutually resolved to understand each other.
5. No need to deal with court formalities:
One of the positive sides of choosing collaborative practice is that you don't have to become a mess in the courtroom and deal with court formalities daily.  
6. Get an understanding of each other needs and expectations:
There is no communication gap; all the issues are resolved on time, you don’t have to wait for court dates, and above all, these lawyers make you able to understand each other needs and expectations. 
7. Develop beneficial mutual agreements:
Collaborative law makes a mutually beneficial agreement for both parties, it is a fair way to discuss your wants and needs.
