In New Jersey there is a very high percentage of reported cases with children. In fact, 88% of the reported cases for the period ending June 2013 had children. Monmouth County had even a higher percentage of cases with children at 90% as did Ocean County. Collaborative practice is proving to be not just another choice but the right choice for those parties with children because the children are always considered a priority by the parties, the attorneys and the divorce coach if one is involved in the process.
