Collaborative divorce, a relatively modern approach to dissolving a marriage, has gained traction in Wisconsin over the years. It emerged as a response to the often adversarial and emotionally draining traditional divorce process. The goal of collaborative divorce is to foster a cooperative environment where both parties work together, alongside their attorneys, to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. In Dane County, this approach has been shaped by evolving family laws, which prioritize the well-being of children and encourage amicable resolutions.
Madeline’s marriage had been on a downward spiral for years.
