Divorce - Without a Judge or Divorce Court

Will week - end divorce be the new future in collaborative negotiation or will this be merely a fad that passes as quickly as it originated?  No one knows the answer to that yet, but as far as I can tell it's a first of it's kind and definitely has some merits worth exploring.

Two Naperville attorneys Sandra Young and Brian Garvey created this concept that allows both parties participate in all negotiations. 

 It's pretty simple, rent a nice motel room for a couple of days on the week - end and save a marital relationship from extinction. As long as there is civility between the two parties, it's a win win for both.  It saves money, emotional stress allowing the couple to actually go their separate ways and start a new life without a long drawn out tooth and nail fight.

Each party is represented by an attorney during the collaborative divorce negotiation.  This process can be accomplished without any courtroom drams or added expense when attorneys pit one party against the other.  It's sort of "One and Done" approach!

Each party must collect all necessary documents and present them to their attorney 10 days before the week-end divorce starts.  Both parties realize that the reason for collaboration is to part company in a fair fashion that actually benefits husband and wife.  

This week - end divorce may work for many couples who realize that the time has come to part ways and yet they have maintained a civility with each other and aren't itching to demonize their partner.  When adults realize that the marital relationship is shattered and neither party believes or wants to try to repair all of the problems that have occurred over the years, week - end divorce may just be the perfect fit. It's especially good if children are involved.
