Maryland Academy of Collaborative Professionals is a dedicated organization specializing in low-cost collaborative divorce services for qualifying Maryland residents. It stands out by offering an alternative, non-adversarial approach to divorce that prioritizes respectful communication and mutual agreement over traditional litigation.
The organization focuses on couples who are good candidates for collaborative divorce, including those who can communicate respectfully, co-parent effectively, and are committed to reaching an agreement without court intervention. Their process requires that neither partner has hired an attorney, no court filings have been made, and there is no history of domestic violence, ensuring a safe and cooperative environment.
