What Is Collaborative Divorce?
Collaborative divorce is an effective approach for Los Angeles couples needing help to reach agreements on important matters such as property division, child custody, and alimony. This approach is especially popular in Los Angeles, where families seek to avoid public courtroom disputes and maintain privacy over their financial and personal affairs.
For many Los Angeles families, collaborative divorce provides an opportunity to resolve disagreements with minimal courtroom involvement. The process allows clients to work with attorneys, financial advisors, and child specialists as needed—all collaborating with both parties to craft creative, mutually acceptable resolutions. Our structured process is ideal for families with complex financial portfolios or localized assets, such as unique real estate holdings or business interests, and helps ensure the settlement fits both short-term needs and long-term goals.
What are the Benefits of Collaborative Divorce?
Allows you to handle post-divorce matters independently
Offers temporary agreements for stability during transition
Yields settlements tailored to your family’s unique needs
Encourages voluntary information sharing
Helps streamline the divorce process
Can reduce divorce costs and timeline compared to litigation

“level-headed and professional”
Thank you to Ken Reyes and his colleague Gabriella Castro for their exceptional service, hard work and unwavering dedication to my case. Divorce settlements are never easy or clear cut and both Ken and Gabriella spent time to explain every detail and remained strong, level-headed and professional during the heated back and forth with the opposing law firm. I was very satisfied with the overall outcome of my case and highly recommend Ken and team for all legal issues. Thank you Ken. Keep up the great work and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

A divorce or separation is the hardest thing a family can go through. I was terrified for my children and felt lost and scared. Thankfully, I found the Law Offices of Kenneth U. Reyes, APC. The staff made me feel comfortable and clarified all my questions about separation and custody. They represented me well in court and worked with my budget. Forever thankful for their support.
Each spouse has their own collaborative lawyer (and/or other experts, such as psychologists or financial experts), and outside of court, these parties negotiate divorce terms in a process that is much more open and informal than a court case would be. Especially compared to litigation, a collaborative divorce takes up much less time and requires much fewer expenses. Because collaborative law is an effective way to resolve divorce issues outside of court, it is a popular option for many couples in California. However, this option is not available in all situations.
Who Are Good Candidates for Collaborative Divorce?
To determine if collaborative law is right for you, the following should be true:
You and your spouse must be able to communicate effectively
You and your spouse must be willing to work together to come to an agreement
You are confident you can reach an agreement out of court (if not, you'll have to start the process over again with new lawyers)
If you are interested in learning about amicable ways to resolve your divorce outside of court, please don't hesitate to discuss your case with Law Offices of Kenneth U. Reyes, APC. Our team includes a Board-Certified Family Law Specialist and CPA. We are ready with the dedication and expertise you need to resolve your divorce and protect your rights and future at every step.
Alternatives to Collaborative Divorce in Los Angeles County
If collaborative divorce isn’t an option, alternative dispute resolution methods are available in Los Angeles.
Mediation: A neutral mediator guides conversations between spouses to facilitate agreement. Unlike collaborative divorce, the mediator cannot make legally binding decisions.
Litigation: If negotiated settlements fail, litigation can resolve contested issues in Los Angeles family court, following local court procedures and timelines.
Arbitration: An arbitrator—often a retired judge or attorney—makes binding decisions in a process faster and less formal than a public trial.
