How do I know if I need legal help with my matter?

If you're unsure about your rights or what steps to take, getting legal guidance can make a real difference. One of our legal assessment specialists will review your situation to see if legal help is the right path. If it is, a licensed attorney will step in, walk you through your options, and help you avoid unnecessary delays or costly mistakes.

What are the risks of handling legal matters without professional support?

Many legal issues come with risks that aren’t obvious at first. Without legal support, it’s easy to miss important steps or deadlines, or to agree to terms that don’t protect your interests. Getting the right guidance helps you avoid delays, resolve things properly, and move forward.

Do you have attorneys available to help?

Yes. We work with licensed attorneys who regularly handle these matters and are supported by our team from start to finish. In some matters, we also collaborate with a trusted local attorney as co-counsel. Your assigned attorney is fully responsible for your legal work and will guide you through it with clear communication at every step

What should I look for when choosing an attorney to help with my matter?

Look for a licensed attorney who communicates clearly and takes the time to explain your options. It’s important to feel confident they understand your legal issue and can guide you through the process. At Lawhive, we work only with vetted attorneys who meet high professional standards and are accountable for your case.

Do you offer fixed fees or flexible pricing?

Yes. Every service is priced clearly, with no hourly fees or hidden costs. After a call with a legal assessment specialist, you’ll get a clear price for your case. If more support is needed later, we’ll always explain the cost so that you can agree to it, before anything goes ahead.

How quickly can I get help?

You can schedule a call with one of our legal assessment specialists at a time that suits you. They’ll review your situation to see if legal support is the right course of action. If it is, they'll assign a licensed attorney who will begin work on your case no later than 48 hours after your payment is received.

01 Overview

What is collaborative divorce?

Collaborative divorce is a respectful, team-based approach to ending a marriage. Instead of going to court, both people agree to work together, with their attorneys, to reach an outcome that works for everyone. It's designed to reduce conflict, protect relationships (especially when kids are involved), and help you move forward with clarity and dignity.

How does collaborative divorce work?

Typically, each person hires a collaborative divorce attorney, and all parties sign an agreement to stay out of court. You’ll then take part in structured meetings where everyone works together to find fair solutions, covering everything from finances and property to parenting and support. The process slightly differs from state to state, but a local attorney can guide you on the process.

The end goal is a practical, peaceful agreement that works for both of you, without the stress and cost of a courtroom battle.

Do you need an attorney for a collaborative divorce?

Collaborative divorce works best when both parties have a legal professional. Your attorney isn’t there to argue – but to guide, support, and protect your interests while helping you reach a fair agreement that works for both parties. They’ll help keep discussions productive, make sure you understand your rights, and ensure everything is handled properly, from the first conversation to the final agreement.

When should you hire a divorce attorney?

The sooner, the better. Starting with the right support helps set the tone for a smoother process. Whether you’re just starting to talk about separation or already know you want a collaborative divorce, getting early legal advice can help you plan clearly, avoid delays, and stay in control of the process.

02 Benefits

How can an attorney support a collaborative divorce?

Collaborative divorce is built on mutual respect, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. The dissolution of a marriage may be emotionally charged for both parties. An attorney helps you navigate the process with clarity, care, and a focus on long-term solutions.

Clarity from day one

Your attorney will take the time to understand your situation and walk you through how the collaborative divorce process works. They’ll explain your rights, what to expect, and what your options are – clearly and without the legal jargon. From the start, you’ll know where you stand and how to move forward with confidence.

Calm, structured support

Even with the best intentions on both sides, difficult emotions can surface. Your attorney helps keep the process steady and respectful, making sure communication stays productive, issues are addressed thoughtfully, and you’re supported every step of the way. It’s about finding solutions at a pace that works for you, not rushing through decisions that affect your future.

A fair, enforceable agreement

Once you've reached an agreement, your attorney will make sure it’s properly written up, legally sound, and clearly reflects what’s been decided. That way, everyone knows where they stand and there are no unexpected issues later on. It's about building lasting peace of mind, not just ticking legal boxes.

03 Costs

How much does an attorney cost for a collaborative divorce?

Costs can vary depending on your situation and how many professionals are involved. Most people find that collaborative divorce is more affordable than going to court, especially when you avoid delays and drawn-out disputes. At Lawhive, we believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs - we don't charge by the hour like traditional law firms. You’ll know what you’re paying for each step of the way, with no hidden fees or surprises.

How long does the process take?

Every case is different, but collaborative divorces are often quicker than traditional court-based divorces. Many are resolved within a few months, sometimes faster if both parties are ready to work through things together. Your attorney will help keep things moving, manage the paperwork, and make sure nothing gets missed along the way.

04 Support

What you can expect from a Lawhive attorney
