Spouses may be paying on their loans from before the marriage, have debt related Parent Plus loans or may have consolidated their loans during the marriage.

A Collaborative Divorce process, allows spouses to generate solutions that are specifically tailored to their own family. Often the spouses agree to solutions that differ wildly from the cut in stone path dictated by Courts.
