Course Description
This course will help students better understand the complex dynamics of family law mediation. Divorce, child custody and child support litigation can be emotionally charged, confusing, costly, time consuming, and subject to power dynamics that frustrate parents, judges, professionals, and court staff alike. Family mediation can, under some circumstances, offer a more therapeutic process that embraces practical solutions by mitigating the conflict of litigation. When successful, family mediation can help litigants reach equitable agreements that reduce ongoing conflict and acrimony, increase compliance, and that benefit both children and parents.
