Collaborative Instead of Combative Divorce with Attorney Randy Pitler

Send us Fan MailDivorce doesn’t have to be a courtroom sport. We sit down with Michigan family law attorney Randy Pittler to unpack how collaborative divorce reframes the process from “win-lose” to problem solving—replacing subpoenas and shuttle diplomacy with a trained team, full transparency, and solutions built for real life. Randy explains why litigation so often breeds delay, expense, and post‑mediation regret, and how Collaborative Divorce flips the incentives: each spouse has a collaboratively trained attorney, a neutral financial expert gathers documents and models options, and a mental health coach keeps emotions from steering the deal.Curious whether you’re a fit? If there’s basic good faith, no active hiding of assets, and a desire to avoid scorched earth, Collaborative Divorce can work—even when emotions run high. We share how to find trained professionals in Michigan and beyond, why ongoing training matters, and how this approach sets healthier patterns for future co‑parenting.
