Ep. 152: Collaborative Divorce: Building a Better Future Beyond Litigation
Divorce doesn’t have to be a war zone.
In this episode, I sit down with three top professionals in the collaborative divorce field—Suzy Eckstein (family law attorney), Natalie Goldberg (divorce coach & child specialist), and Margie Hofberg (mortgage expert)—to break down how collaborative law offers a healthier, more solution-focused approach to divorce.
Listen in as we discuss how this method fosters better co-parenting, financial clarity, and long-term stability for families.
You’ll learn the benefits of this approach, why having a well-structured divorce agreement is crucial, and how the collaborative process can help even the most contentious divorces.
What You’ll Learn:
- What is collaborative divorce?
- The impact of collaborative divorce on long-term family stability.
- Why goal-setting matters in the process.
- The role of financial planning in collaborative cases.
- Why it’s important to bring the child’s perspective into the process.
- How to choose the right attorney.
- The benefits of a well-structured divorce agreement.
