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.

Rezensionen

"Woody Mosten's new book brings the
"how-to" of collaborative divorce squarely up-to-date
and perhaps most importantly, brings to collaborative practice the
legitimacy of the imprimatur of an established, vastly experienced
and well-regarded conflict resolution practitioner."

--Julie Macfarlane in Family Court Review, Volume 48,
Number 3, July 2010.

"Collaborative Divorce Handbook provides a
step-by-step guide to the concepts, tools, and strategies needed to
enter or improve upon collaborative practice. But, more
significantly, Mosten's test provides a compelling call to
re-center legal practice around the client."

-- J. Herbie DiFonzo in Family Law Quarterly, Volume
44, Number 1, Spring 2010.
