WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HOW TO DIVORCE . . .
PASADENA COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE (PCD) offers this FREE PUBLIC SERVICE to empower professionals serving couples, as well as couples to make well-informed and effective long-term decisions.
• Options offered help preserve respect and money.
• Attendees learn to understand and manage the legal, financial, and emotional aspects of divorce.
• Topics include: the different divorce options, the pros and cons and relative costs of each, divorce-related terms, and which approach may provide desired outcomes under different financial or interpersonal circumstances.
Few people are actually familiar with all the divorce options, for example:
• Self-Representation (“Do-it-yourself”)
• Mediation (Traditional, Co-Mediation or Enhanced)
• Collaborative Divorce
• Traditional Litigated Divorce
Professionals from PCD, trained in all the options, help you learn how to get started and answer questions as time permits. We are licensed mental health professionals (“Divorce Coaches,” “Child & Co-parenting Specialists”), financial professionals (CPA’s) specifically trained in divorce financial matters, and family law attorneys.
