My ability to achieve a successful outcome in the divorce primarily will depend on the decisions I make during the process

In order to achieve my most important goals, I am willing to let go of some smaller short-term issues, even though it may be very hard to do so.

I am capable of making the emotional commitment necessary to achieve the best possible outcome.

I am not afraid of or intimidated by my spouse.

I am willing to try to see things from my spouse’s point of view in order to help achieve the best possible outcome.

I believe it is possible for my spouse and me to restore enough trust in each other to achieve a successful outcome.

I am willing to commit myself fully to resolving the issues through the collaborative process by working toward common interests rather than simply arguing in favor of my positions.

It is important to me that my spouse and I maintain a respectful and effective relationship after the divorce.

I have accepted the fact that this divorce is going to happen.

I believe that it is very important that our children maintain a strong, healthy relationship with both parents.
