Once you are involved in a court case, you are part of an adversarial system. You may wish to adopt an attitude of lower expectations, expecting the worse and be surprised. However if yours is the sort of marriage where you think you can sensibly negotiate with your spouse, where you are both thinking realistically and are prepared to compromise to reach a reasonable settlement, we recommend you give serious thought to the collaborative law process.Mistake 2 - Having totally unrealistic expectations or demands on what you are gaining from a divorceToo many people start divorce proceedings expecting that they will get everything they want.
