FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about collaborative divorce and how Dr. Furr can help.

What is collaborative divorce?

Collaborative divorce is a voluntary, out-of-court process where you and your spouse work with one shared team — lawyers, neutral experts, and communication support — instead of opposing sides. You talk directly, set your own pace, and reach a single settlement created by both of you, and the process stays private.

How is collaborative divorce different from litigation?

In litigation, the case is filed in court and is mandatory if you can’t agree. Each side has separate lawyers and experts with no built-in help communicating, costs can escalate quickly, and the outcome becomes part of the public record and is decided by a judge. Collaborative divorce keeps those decisions with you and your spouse instead.

Where is Dr. Furr licensed to practice?

Dr. Furr is a licensed psychologist in Florida, Colorado, and California, and holds PSYPACT authority for interjurisdictional telepsychology.

What if we’re not sure whether to stay together or separate?

Dr. Furr offers Divorce Counseling, Mediation, Collaborative Mediation, Collaborative Divorce, and Parenting Plan Consultation as different paths depending on where you and your family are — from staying together to reconciliation to separation or divorce.
