North Texas Collaborative Divorce Attorney Barbara Cole was a recent featured guest on the Respectful Divorce podcast discussing the upcoming Divorce With Respect Week® initiative. The Respectful Divorce Podcast is hosted by Tim Crouch and discusses with divorce professionals peaceful options people or couples have for their divorce.
“When I learned about Collaborative Divorce I was so blown away by the advanced thinking that it encompassed,” said Cole. “For about 15 years I was in the courtroom and there was always more that was needed to help these families. Collaborative allows us an opportunity to bring a team of people together to help people look at their goals, assess their options, and get the best of the best thinking from a team.”
Divorce With Respect Week® is a nationwide initiative from March 3-9, 2025 to educate couples about options for divorce like the no-court Collaborative Divorce process. In a Collaborative Divorce, all of those involved in the divorce process agree that they will not go to the court to resolve any differences but that they will work through the process to reach a resolution.
“People are allowed to be a little more vulnerable to work through their issues in a Collaborative Divorce case,” said Cole. “So it’s not about somebody having to win or lose but there’s a sense of ‘we’ that is instead created or taught. What I have also found is that this is the process parents want to do so they can become better co-parents.”
