This is a link to a fascinating study about the effect of divorce on children.  I would think that many of these negative effects could be miniumized if the divorcing parents worked more cooperatively.  I would think that methods of alternate dispute resolution such as collaborative divorce or mediation would go a long way in reducing the stress and long term effects on children.

If you are serious about learning collaborative divorce, this is a rare opportunity to train with a world-class faculty including Nancy Ross, LCSW, Mark Hill, CFP, CDFA, Jaye-Jo Portanova, M.D., Myra Fleischer,  J.D., CLS-F and Shawn Weber, JD, CLS-F. Each brings decades of experience and a deep understanding of how Collaborative Divorce actually work in practice.

This is a hands-on training. You will see how the roles function, how the team works together, and how structure holds when the conversation gets difficult. You will practice the skills, not just hear about them.

Opportunities to learn directly from a group like this do not come around often.

The process requires structure, a clear understanding of roles, and the ability to work effectively within a team. Those are skills that can be learned and developed with the right training and experience.

If you are a family law professional looking to expand your skillset or shift how you approach cases, collaborative practice offers a meaningful path forward.
