Collaborative Divorce

Recognizing divorce’s traumatic aftermath for estranged spouses and – often even more destructive – for the children, collaborative divorce has gained favor as an alternative to litigation. Not suitable for every divorcing couple, but in those cases where the parties can agree to participate openly, reject the courtroom as an option, and accept the final negotiated settlement – collaborative divorce can eliminate the bitterness and perceived injustice so often associated with traditional proceedings.

Principal attorneys and partners Elizabeth Dalena and Corinne DeStefano are experienced in the relatively new area of collaborative divorce. Both received training in Interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce; both are members of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals. Ms. DeStefano is president of the New Jersey Collaborative Law Group; Ms. Dalena, its secretary. Ms. DeStefano sits on the Board of Directors of the New Jersey Council of Collaborative Practice Groups.
