Here are some of the best books we could find for family resolution. Family dispute resolution can help parents come to an agreement about children’s living arrangements, including where the children will live, how the parents will share parental responsibility and child support.
An approved family dispute resolution practitioner facilitates a family dispute. What the FDR practitioner does is to help parties to have an unbiased conversation to arrive at a solution that is appropriate for their children and their family’s circumstances. The parties may be represented by counsel in that procedure, if they so wish.
Family counseling is not to be confused with family dispute resolution and typically focuses on one issue that impacts the whole family, for example, a child’s problem and how parents can help the child to solve it. Family counseling can also help parents and children work through the separation of the parent-child relationship and the changes that happen in the family as a result.
The first step is an invitation to join FDR. If you have tried all methods and still cannot resolve your disagreement or if one party refuses to participate in family conflict resolution, one party may apply to court and seek parenting orders.
Keep in mind that court should be the last resort when all other options have been exhausted (unless there are some risk issues or urgency in the case). Divorce and separation can be a very emotional time for both you and your kids.
A mediator can help you put your feelings aside and make decisions that are in the best interests of your children. Families who work with an FDR practitioner usually find the solution much sooner than if they try to do it themselves.
Since litigation (getting to court) can be costly, it is nearly always less expensive to settle family conflicts in private, under the supervision of an FDR practitioner, and with the help of an experienced family lawyer.
During FDR talks, everything stated is private.
