Case Study 2: Facilitating a Collaborative Sale
In another case, a divorcing couple agreed to sell their marital home and divide the proceeds. The
mediator, attorney, and CDLP® worked together to:
Establish a fair market value with input from the real estate agent.
Structure the sale timeline to accommodate both parties’ financial needs.
Prequalify each party for future home purchases based on anticipated proceeds.
The team’s collaboration ensured the sale was completed efficiently and both clients were prepared for
their next steps.
The Benefits of Collaboration
Collaboration between CDLP®s and other divorce professionals offers several key advantages:
Holistic Solutions: By combining their expertise, the divorce team can address the full range of client
needs, from financial stability to legal compliance and emotional well-being.
Reduced Client Stress: A coordinated approach minimizes confusion and provides clients with clear,
actionable guidance, reducing the stress of navigating complex decisions.
Better Outcomes: Collaboration leads to more equitable settlements, improved financial stability, and
a smoother transition for divorcing clients.
Professional Growth: Working with a CDLP® enhances the value mediators, attorneys, and financial
planners bring to their clients, strengthening their reputation and expanding their practice
opportunities.
Moving Forward: Bridging the Gap for Better Outcomes
The future of divorce settlements lies in collaboration. By bridging the gap between mediators, attorneys,
financial planners, and CDLP®s, professionals can provide divorcing clients with the comprehensive
support they need to successfully navigate this challenging time.
Investing in collaboration and specialized training ensures that divorce professionals are equipped to meet
their clients' evolving demands, transforming the divorce process into an opportunity for clarity, stability,
and hope.
