Carl Fedde is a certified Collaborative Financial Professional.  The collaborative divorce process involves separate attorneys, a neutral mental health professional and financial consultant.  The neutral mental health professional will assist the couple in working through emotional issues of a divorce.  The neutral financial consultant will work with the divorcing couples to determine the marital estate, the division of the marital estate, alimony, and child support amounts to be paid.  The entire process is resolved with no involvement of the court.  The divorcing parties work together with the professionals in a transparent manner in order to arrive at an agreeable solution to the dissolution of the marriage.  Once an agreement is reached among the parties, the final agreement is filed with the court to dissolve the marriage.
