Description:

Finally, family law lawyers have a single, authoritative Canadian treatise on collaborative family law. "Collaborative family law" is a process where parties and their counsel adopt a cooperative, constructive approach to resolving family law conflicts. Family law lawyers across the country are embracing the collaborative law approach as the preferred method of serving their clients.

The first text on this topic to be published in Canada, Collaborative Family Law: Another Way to Resolve Family Disputes, offers a revolutionary new alternative to the adversarial process - one that:

tailors the dispute process to the needs of the parties involved
gives lawyers representing both sides a joint mandate to empower their clients to create the best possible agreement as they themselves define it

With extensive experience in family law practice, mediation and social work, the authors offer a unique conceptual approach to collaborative family law (CFL) by providing:

a proven seven-step CFL negotiation model that starts with "issues" and ends with "the agreement"
comparative analyses of the principle and practice of
- collaborative family law
- mediation
- traditional litigation
grounding in the theory, mind-set and skills for effective collaborative practice instruction

This work is a must-have text for family law practitioners who want to move away from the adversarial system to the collaborative way of resolving family disputes.
