A new colleague reached out to me the other day with a question: The concept of Collaborative Divorce has been around for 30 years. Why haven’t more people heard of it? It’s a fair question. Collaborative Divorce isn’t yet a household word, and I think it’s partly because the term itself causes a bit of cognitive dissonance. Those two seemingly opposite ideas sitting so close to each other sends a signal to our brains: “This does not compute.”
