If you’re in marital relationship now that you probably think is a big mess you shouldn’t have got yourself involved in in the first place, you would want to break up with your partner. “More haste less speed”, they say- you need to take some time out and reevaluate your thoughts: is it really what you want? Or, are you calling it a quit the right way?

In this sense, divorce is like a war with terrible aftermath. If not careful planned, it has a way of rebounding upon oneself. Now that you’ve reached climax, what you need is a relief rather than a war. In a bid and quest to salvage, for the sake of your family’s protection, you need collaborative divorce.

It has become the most peaceful effective and mature way of rendering the last resorts in marital breakups and or disputes. It is a platform for fair judgment.
