[Greenwood Village, February 17, 2016] - Divorce Matters, the top-rated Denver divorce attorneys, offers Early Neutral Assessment (ENA) for couples undergoing divorce. It is a blend of collaborative law and traditional mediation designed to reach early settlement for both parties.

ENA is part of the Colorado Dispute Resolution Act and is a voluntary alternative process to resolve dispute. It engages both parties to reach an agreement of their separation without the contentious nature and expense of the ongoing legal case.

The divorcing clients meet with a team of evaluators, commonly a lawyer and a therapist, without prior involvement with the case. One man and one woman comprise the evaluation team to remove gender bias. The Early Neutral Settlement meeting takes place within the first 60 days of issuance of the case.

The evaluating team schedules a joint session with the divorcing parties and their attorneys, where each party is able to express their concerns. Both parties get the opportunity to address each other’s concerns.

The evaluator provides his or her expert assessment of the case’s likely outcome if it were at a hearing. The team then provides settlement suggestions and assists in mediating a settlement, when the circumstance arises.

The Early Neutral Assessment’s process moves the parties towards resolution, increasing the likelihood of early settlement.

ENA benefits both parties while protecting them. This process also protects their children from the ugly side of divorce. By resolving matters early, post-divorce relationships are on a stronger foundation. The mediation process of ENA generates faster resolution, while preventing future litigation and conflict.

Early Neutral Assessment can’t be done in every divorce case, however. It is not beneficial for cases with personal circumstances, such as mental, physical, or emotional abuse. But for couples hoping to reduce the emotional toll of divorce, ENA is a good alternative to traditional approaches.
