In a collaborative divorce each party has a lawyer. There is a coach. There may be parenting and financial advisers. Collaborative law is different than mediation. Mediation is a dispute resolution technique that involves tow parties settling a dispute that is acceptable to each as opposed to having two parties reach a common solution.
