At the heart of Collaborative Divorce and Mediation is the concept of Interest-Based negotiation. Interest-based negotiation is very different from the positional negations that take place in litigation systems. Interest-Based negotiations seeks to maximize the joint interest of both parties to achieve success as they have defined it for themselves. Positional negotiations is simply win\loose no matter what the casualties are. The following is a summary of the differences, so that you can make an assessment of what type of legacy you wish to leave for your family as you transition from what you were to what you will be.
