Collaborative divorce has achieved a reputation as a less stressful and less expensive divorce process. Consequently, more and more divorce lawyers are calling themselves collaborative attorneys. Unfortunately, just because an attorney labels him or herself as “collaborative” doesn’t necessarily mean that they have the training and skills to conduct a collaborative divorce.
Your best bet is to select a collaborative divorce attorney who is an active member in good standing of the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals (NYACP). The NYACP has the most rigorous training requirement of any collaborative professionals’ group in the New York metropolitan area.
