Sometimes a divorce or family law case can be like a perfect storm. The fissile material of fear, hurt and anger can lead people to make terrible choices as they navigate a very difficult legal process. This video offers tips on how to reduce reactivity in divorce to help encourage a peaceful, cost-effective and amicable divorce.
As I am a mediator and a collaborative divorce practitioner, my job is all about managing conflict. A key component to managing conflict is recognizing it when you see it. To that end, I thought this video would make a great tribute to the late Robin Williams while educating my readers. Enjoy!
I was pleased to take part in an interview on San Diego’s KPBS TV’s “Evening Edition” on behalf of the Collaborative Family Law Group of San Diego. The subject of the interview involved the budget cuts affecting the family courts in San Diego and why families and parties going through family law litigation should consider no-court options such as mediation or collaborative divorce. The host, Peggy Pico, was delightful. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to more opportunities to explain why out-of-court options are so important.
