Which model you choose depends on each client and what their particular needs are. So there are pros and cons to each model. Collaborative is a great approach especially if you need to feel supported in the process or maybe you’re the spouse that needs information like you have not really been the one in the know during the marriage. It’s going to be a process that’s more expensive than say for example, mediation where you just have one lawyer who’s not representing either party but is acting as a neutral to try to facilitate and agreement. Where you have a power imbalance that process isn’t the best one. Litigation is usually the least favorite because you give up control of your case, basically, a third party will be deciding what is going to happen with respect to custody, support, and your property division if you’re unable to agree.
