Collusive Divorce

Learn about the definition for this legal term.

What is Collusive Divorce?

The parties must try to avoid terms that indicate that they are obtaining a mutually contracted divorce. Such provisions are deemed collusive and can taint the whole divorce if allowed to appear prominently. The prohibition against a collusive divorce is apparently due to the false premise that the parties will not reconcile if they are plotting to engineer a divorce.
