A Divorce is one of the most stressful experiences one can go through.  Often, in addition to all of the emotional stress, one has a great deal to work out financially.  One of the biggest items of concern is mortgage and real estate.  As someone that has been through divorce and worked with scores of borrowers in various stages of divorce, I know that it is so important to quickly find answers from knowledgeable professionals that are not going to cost you an arm and a leg.  This is one reason why I am so pationate about aligning my work as a Loan Officer with that of attorneys that specialize in Collaborative Divorce.

Here is an except from one such attorney in Tucson's website:

"Most people who have been through an adversarial divorce will tell you the experience was emotionally wrenching and prohibitively expensive. They will also probably tell you that the lawyers contributed to these problems by heightening conflict and escalating arguments over the placement of children, payment of support and division of property, all the while charging substantial legal fees.

Divorcing families are in crisis. Unfortunately, the legal process seeks to resolve that crisis in an adversarial manner that most often intensifies conflict. Many divorce lawyers perceive their role as "winning" for the client, which is usually defined as obtaining the most time with and power to make decisions regarding children, as well as the lion's share of marital assets. Before long, clients find themselves in the middle of a war, facing frightening one-sided accusations as well as expensive and time consuming discovery requests. Sometimes the two are combined in the form of pre-trial depositions, in which the client is grilled, often for hours at a time, by the opposing attorney. Depositions, which are taken under oath and in advance of trial, necessitate paying one's own attorney to be present even when you're the one being interrogated. The process can leave spouses embittered and bankrupt, while the damage inflicted upon children is often immeasurable."

From the website of Roy N Martin, Attorney at Law (Tucson, AZ)
