Collaborative Divorce Handbook by Forrest S. Mosten Pdf

Forrest S. Mosten Collaborative Divorce Handbook Helping families without going to court Praise for Collaborative Divorce Handbook "There are many roads to peace. Whether you engage in collaborative practice, which by definition includes the provision that professionals will not represent the parties in litigation, or some other process for respectful conflict resolution, you will find Collaborative Divorce Handbook to be an invaluable resource for deepening your understanding and enhancing your skills as a peacemaker." Talia L. Katz, JD, executive director, International Academy of Collaborative Professionals "Collaborative lawyering is a promising new way of resolving disputes through joint problem solving rather than adversary litigation that has particular appeal for divorce cases. Whether you are a client who seeks to learn more about it or a lawyer using it who desires a wise guiding hand, this book is an invaluable resource." Frank E. A. Sander, Bussey Professor Emeritus, Harvard Law School "Written by one of the innovative thinkers in the field, Collaborative Divorce Handbook is a treasure of information for all professionals interested in collaborative divorce. Easy to read, expansive, and chock-full of resources, it is bound to become a classic." Constance Ahrons, PhD, author, The Good Divorce and We're Still Family, and professor emerita, University of Southern California "Family law is changing. As more people realize that the adversarial process is expensive, degrading, and stressful, they look for alternatives and find it in various forms of alternative dispute resolution. Woody Mosten is the nationally recognized leader of this movement, and his book on collaborative practice literally will be 'The Handbook' we will all follow." Garrett C. Dailey, Esq., CFLS, AAML, president, Attorney's BriefCase, Inc.

The Collaborative Way to Divorce by Stuart G. Webb,Ronald D. Ousky Pdf

The groundbreaking alternative for the millions of couples with children who face divorce each year—couples who want to avoid litigation, but don’t want to give up on getting what they want. Even under the best circumstances, divorce can be marked by a range of painful emotions. But research now reveals that how a couple conducts themselves during a divorce has far greater impact on their children than the act of divorcing itself. Groundbreaking and revolutionary, The Collaborative Way to Divorce is the first guide to the Collaborative process, a nationally acclaimed approach based on the concept that both spouses hire legal representation, yet agree to resolve their differences with no intention of ever going to court. Stressing cooperation over confrontation and resolution over revenge, Collaborative divorce is fast transforming how couples dissolve their marriages, divide their assets, and reinvent their post-divorce relationships, particularly when they have children. Written by Stu Webb, the founder of the Collaborative law movement and Ron Ousky, an early pioneer of the process, The Collaborative Way to Divorce guides you through the steps of the Collaborative process so that you can make better, more informed, and more strategic decisions—resulting in a win-win outcome for you and your spouse.

A Practical Guide to Divorce for the Silver Separators by Karin Walker Pdf

As the marriage rate falls and the 'millennials' choose to cohabit, the over 60s are topping the divorce charts. Working with separating couples who are in later life requires a special level of expertise. In addition to the provision of sound legal advice, practitioners will need to have an understanding of the emotional and other wider issues faced by clients from this generation and the impact which these will have on the process. There is a need to explore into the family dynamic and recognise the influences which may have a profound effect upon your handling of the case on behalf of your client. 'A Practical Guide to Divorce for the Silver Separators' will take you through some of the most important considerations when acting for a client over the age of 60 and provide guidance to support you through the potential pitfalls. The aim is to assist you in the provision of the best possible service for the growing number of separating couples in this age group, likely to form a significant proportion of your caseload. The book is full of practical tips with an illustrative case study. It deals with the needs to understand the implications for the wider family, especially adult children who, although too old to be taken into account by the court, can become over involved in the separation of their parents. 'A Practical Guide to Divorce for the Silver Separators' can be used as a quick reference book or an absorbing 'cover to cover' read, aimed at equipping the reader to tailor their service to the very specific requirements of the age group.
