One of the distinctive features of Collaborative divorce is that each couple gets to fashion its own solutions, not bound by state law. However, lawyers are used to applying their own law, and often refer to their client's batna (best alternative to a negotiated agreement) as their reference point. Experienced Collaborative divorce lawyers have a rich understanding of the law in many different jurisdictions. By sharing our knowledge of the variety of solutions designed by different state and national legislatures, we will expand our ability to propose creative and alternative solutions in our cases.
