How to reach an out of court settlement in family mediation And much, much more... This book is a wake up call for anyone considering separation or divorce. Generally, parents file court papers prematurely. This locks the entire family into a profit seeking institution with judges able to micromanage the lives of the entire family, including grandparents, until the children are of legal age. Family problems are rarely solved in family court. At best, and after considerable expense, family court merely provides guidelines to resolve domestic disputes. Laws cannot change how people interact. Solutions are reached when parents change their attitudes and behavior to better navigate the treacherous waters of family court to arrive at the best possible outcome for the entire family. The goal is to maintain the option of making choices for your family and not relinquish control to the family court. | How to Win in and Out of Family Court by Sean Collinson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
