Synopsis
Did you know that family lawyers have a duty under section 8(2) of the Family Law Act to discuss with their clients "the advisability of using various types of family dispute resolution to resolve the matter"? Collaborative family law is one of those types of family dispute resolution and you can't advise your clients about it if you don't know what it is! Learn about the basics of collaborative family practice from Rebecca Stanley, Connect Family Law, a collaborative family lawyer and family law mediator. Rebecca explains how collaborative family law is different from some of the more common methods of family dispute resolution, such as litigation and mediation, and how collaborative family law can benefit you and your clients.
