Co-author, LexisNexis Butterworths, 3rd-to-5th Editions (2000 - 2009)
 

A Practical and Thorough Review of the ADR Options in Family Law

 

This is a resource for family law lawyers and other professionals dealing with families facing separation and divorce, including mental health professionals, financial specialists, clergy, educators and judges. Less than 2% of families resolve their family law issues in court, so they need alternative processes that encourage cooperative, timely and cost effective resolutions: this book discusses each of these processes in depth and helps family law professionals and their clients choose which process is best for them.

This edition includes the latest developments in mediation and collaborative practice, and a chapter on the Rules of Professional Conduct for mediators, collaborative lawyers, and arbitrators. Coverage also includes the critical topic of Domestic Violence and Screening.

The book also provides extensive samples and precedents of every process that is discussed.
