Does Collaborative Family Law make Divorce Too Easy?
A. There are many things in life that are paradoxical – that are contrary to what they seem – and this is one of them. Losing your temper and swearing at some thing or some person who set you off is unpleasant – just like litigation is unpleasant. But is is easier (opening the door to an emotion demanding outlet is always easier) than controlling that emotion and directing the force to something constructive rather than destructive. Collaboration is the right thing to do. It certainly is best for the children and it may give you inner peace and comfort, but it is not easy in the way that the word “easy” is often used.
