What is collaborative negotiation?
Collaborative negotiation works like ordinary negotiation but can involve other professionals when their participation <span class="noglossary">will</span> help the parties to reach a settlement:
#*clinical counsellors or psychologists can be involved as ''coaches'', helping the parties work through their emotions and other stumbling blocks in the negotiation process;,#*clinical counsellors or psychologists can be involved as ''child specialists'', giving the parties advice about parenting schedules and information about how the children are experiencing the separation; and,#*accountants, appraisers, and tax experts and other ''financial specialists'' can be involved to help the parties figure out complicated problems about money.
When collaborative negotiation is successful, the parties <span class="noglossary">will</span> usually sign a separation agreement to document their settlement. Separation agreements can be filed in court and be enforced like court orders.
