Collaborative Law
Collaborative law in South Africa offers a progressive approach to divorce, focusing on mutual cooperation and amicable resolutions outside of court. This method involves both parties working with collaboratively trained attorneys and possibly other professionals, such as financial advisors, child specialists, and divorce coaches, to address various aspects of their divorce in a transparent and constructive manner. The process is entirely voluntary, requiring both parties to commit to resolving their disputes without litigation. It prioritises open communication, confidentiality, and the interests of both parties and their children, thereby fostering a more amicable post-divorce relationship. If the collaborative process fails, the involved attorneys must withdraw, and new legal representation is required for any subsequent court proceedings, which encourages both parties to remain committed to reaching an agreement.
