Divorce is never easy, and emotions often run high. When tensions rise, even couples committed to the collaborative process can find themselves veering toward litigation. That’s where a trained mental health professional becomes essential.

In a collaborative divorce, the role of the mental health neutral is to:

  • Guide the emotional tone of the discussions

  • Help each party stay focused on problem-solving

  • Prevent escalation into litigation mode

  • Promote healthy communication patterns

They’re not acting as therapists, but as communication coaches and emotional guides, helping both sides move forward peacefully and constructively.

✨ Mental health professionals are a bridge back to the collaborative table when conflict threatens to take over. If you’re considering collaborative divorce, don’t overlook their value — they could be the key to preserving peace and avoiding a court battle.
