The Coalition for Collaborative Divorce sponsors workshops to help individuals discover an inexpensive cooperative divorce process without going to court, thus helping families avoid unnecessary stress and extensive litigation costs. Trained professionals provide "legal, personal and financial wisdom" and address such issues as alimony, child support, tax issues and whether to keep or sell the home.
