Divorce consulting is an option when the divorcing couple is communicating well, there is little conflict and the legal issues are not complex. In divorce consulting, the couple negotiates their own agreement prior to consulting with divorce attorneys.

Once the agreement is set, they can engage the services of two attorneys, who are available for one-on-one consultations with each spouse to answer questions as they arise. When the divorcing couple has agreed to the terms of their separation, both spouses meet jointly with both attorneys to explain what has been agreed upon. The attorneys will prepare the necessary legal documentation and, if desired, file the necessary court action to obtain a divorce decree.
