achieving effective resolution in divorce without litigation

"The third edition of [this book] is substantially revised and expanded ... [It] has taught family lawyers an invaluable lesson on how to respond effectively to change the tone of contenuous divorce litigation to a civil conversation that results in an equitable agreement for both divorcing partners. In this book, the author cuts to the chase showing lawyers how to omit the ritual of unrealistic opening offers, ongoing meetings and the back and forth negotiation between attorneys as well as clients ... [The author covers] aspects of the process including: parties and counsel signing a participation agreement; terms of litigation; the lawyers' ability to withdraw and how new counsel will be hired; and more."--, Publisher's website
