One very interesting thought came to my mind yesterday as I was working my way through a collaborative divorce four-way meeting. That thought was, "This is way harder than I thought it would be!" I guess I naively thought that "divorce with respect" meant "an easier way to divorce". That is not so.
Collaborative divorce IS easier when it comes to the honestly, integrity and trust I have with my collaborative colleagues. However, our collaborative clients STILL run the gamut of emotions such as anger, pain, rage and even the "I'm gonna make you pay" emotion. As a litigator, that is just par for the course and I expect it. When I see it during litigation, I try to divert that emotion in a way that will either help my client make it through the quagmire of pain, misery and law, or ignore it.
More to come next week...
