At your initial collaborative session, you will set up a series of "four-way conferences" in which you, your spouse, and your lawyers will participate. You will agree to a definite time period for each of these meetings. Before the initial four-way, you and your spouse will be asked to gather necessary data and documents regarding assets, liabilities, income and other relevant materials.
You and your spouse will prepare a joint, sworn inventory and appraisement. If necessary, one mutually acceptable expert may be retained to address disputed issues. The necessary legal documents will be drafted jointly with your lawyers.
