How Collaborative Divorce can help you

Introduced in the 1990s, the Collaborative Divorce is a team-based, solution-oriented approach designed to guide divorcing couples to settlements that are fair, equitable and in the best interest of their families. It seeks to defuse conflict, empower decision-making and solve problems jointly with open communication and negotiation, cooperation and respect. The team includes an attorney for each party; divorce coaches, who address conflict resolution, communication and co-parenting issues; child specialists, and a neutral financial expert who oversees the financial aspects of the divorce and settlement. All parties sign an agreement pledging to refrain from litigation.

Robert D. Bordett provides unbiased and objective financial expertise.

With financial issues a major cause of divorce — and with the financial adjustments that routinely follow settlement — a qualified and empathetic financial expert is crucial to a Collaborative Divorce’s successful outcome. A financial consultant for more than two decades, Bob Bordett brings his experience and analytical expertise, his compassion, commitment and extraordinary listening and communication skills to the collaborative process. Bob addresses both short- and long-term financial consequences by exploring such issues as:

• financial discovery (documentation of income, expenses, assets and debts);
• organization of finances, determination of living expenses and development of budgets,
• evaluation of earning power and “career assets”
• pensions, retirement funds and social security
• keeping vs. selling the home, personal vs. marital property
• alimony and child support scenarios
• tax implications of any decisions

With these services, divorcing partners make more informed decisions with a clearer view of their financial futures and a greater sense of control over the present.
