The collaborative law process doesn't guarantee you that each asset or every dollar of income is disclosed; from now on then the standard litigation process can guarantee you that. In the end, a dishonest one that works very hard to hide money can sometimes succeed, because the time and expense involved in investigating concealed assets may be high, and therefore the results uncertain. But, far greater efforts to trace down concealed assets and income may be expected in conventional litigation than in collaborative law, which relies upon voluntary disclosure.
The party is generally the most effective judge of his or her spouse or partner’s basic honesty. If the party would lie on a taxation return, he or she is maybe not a decent candidate for a Collaborative Law process, because the required honesty would be lacking. But if you have got confidence in his or her basic honesty, then the method is also a decent choice for you. The selection really lies within your decision.
