Here is a link to article by Beverly Willett calling for reform. The Collaborative Process offers just what Ms. Willett is calling for: time, as well as a formal context, for couples contemplating the termination of their marriage to consider all of their alternatives and the consequences of each choice before walking down a road of no return. By enlisting the aid of seasoned and caring professionals, who are trained in methods designed to recognize the futility of arguing couples can move forward in ways that make sense for their families. Hope and respect are all part of the Collaborative process as “the best” in their field practice it.
