Institute 3: A Brave New World: Procedural and Technological Innovations in Family Dispute Resolutions
The courts continue to be inundated with cases awaiting judicial decisions, often leaving children overlooked. As a result, family law professionals seek innovative ways to help families resolve disputes outside the courtroom, sometimes challenging traditional methods. Brief focused evaluations on specific issues and settlement-focused assessments with informal expert recommendations are two strategies aimed at keeping families out of court while promoting healing. This session brings together experts from law, technology, mediation, mental health, and the judiciary to explore time-efficient, cost-effective solutions that support healthy co-parenting post-divorce.
