I didn’t have this, so I’ll answer as a complete outsider. A collaborative divorce is when both spouses struggle to agree on various points about divorce but decide to avoid going to court. This process involves bringing in third parties such as therapists to help make decisions about child custody, child support, etc.

Essentially, this process involves getting others to negotiate the necessary details about divorce when the spouses can’t come to an agreement themselves.

Here is some information about it I found on my divorce attorney’s website.  Hope that helps.
