Collaborative Law: Achieving Effective Resolution in Divorce without Litigation
(Second Editin)
by Pauline H. Tesler

The first book to explain how to understand and practice collaborative law. This unique new handbook explains this emerging dispute resolution model of collaborative law that is helping family lawyers bring their clients through the divorce passage with integrity and satisfaction. Collaborative Law describes how this approach engages the unique problem-solving skills of lawyers to achieve settlements that creatively and appropriately customize outcomes in the way that few courts are able to achieve. In the collaborative process, fees and costs are minimized, high-quality legal counsel and negotiating assistance are built in, and the ability of divorcing spouses to cooperate and coparent is maximized to a dramatic extent. The second edition, published in 2008, contains substantial new and updated information.
