Collaborative divorce handbook: helping families without going to court

The Collaborative Divorce Handbook will be the definitive practical resource for the burgeoning collaborative divorce movement. Up-to-date and accessible, the book is designed to give an explanation and overview of the models of collaborative divorce practice, put these models into context with other dispute resolution options, and provide readers with basic skills, practice tools, and strategies to either make an informed choice about entering collaborative practice (either exclusively or in tandem with other professional services) or increase the profitability of an established collaborative practice. The book is organized into four basic parts: Part One Explains collaborative divorce practice in terms familiar to professionals who practice or have been educated and trained in traditional divorce practice and are interested in representing oneside of a dispute in a less adversarial manner. Part Two Addresses the needs and concerns of the interdisciplinary membership of collaborative practice: lawyers, mental health professionals, accountants and financial planners, and other professionals (business, religious, and social referral sources, business and real estate professionals, and organizations and educational institutions interested in this growing field). Part Three Sets out the many different collaborative professional models currently in operation and the training and practice needs relevant to each model. Part Four Offers practice and marketing strategies and resources that most professionals find useful, including sample forms and letters, checklists, surveys, and other resources.
