Welcome to The Collaborative Divorce Center of Coastal Virginia. CDC COVA is designed to help you through the trauma of divorce using the Collaborative Method. Collaborative Divorce gives you the advantage of a team approach, consisting of Lawyers, a Divorce Coach/Child Specialist and Financial Planners. Your children will receive highly specialized care in the hands of our Child Specialist. After all, we understand that your children’s wellbeing is your highest priority. Together as one team, we reduce the trauma and long term negative effects of divorce, usually for less money than a traditional divorce. A Collaborative Divorce is a better, more family-friendly way for managing your conflict and creating an equitable settlement.
