The Center for Out-of-Court Divorce, formerly located in Denver, Colorado, was a pioneering initiative developed by IAALS to provide a family-centered approach for couples with children seeking to end their partnership or marriage through compassionate, holistic divorce resolution. The innovative out-of-court model aimed to empower parents to work together towards positive outcomes for their children, offering interdisciplinary services and a supportive environment outside of the traditional courtroom setting.
Through a phased approach, the Center first operated on the University of Denver campus before transitioning into a community-based entity staffed by licensed professionals. Services included family counseling, co-parent planning, legal education, mediation, and support groups for parents and children, with a focus on reducing acrimony, improving communication, and enhancing co-parenting skills. Despite its closure in 2017, the Center's impact on families and children showcased the potential for less adversarial means of resolving separation and divorce issues.
