| Abstract | "The process of managing divorce and separation-related disputes has branched out in many directions over the last 60 years. In the 1960s, divorce was fault-based, strictly regulated by the courts, and limited process options existed. A contested divorce typically followed a combative path of lawyer orchestrated negotiations and litigation. Outcomes were frequently predictable as parties bargained in the shadow of the law (Mnookin & Kornhauser, 1978); typically, sole legal and physical custody for the mother and alternate weekend visitation, and child support and alimony obligations for the father. Some progressive family courts employed counselors who conducted investigations or home studies in contested custody disputes, or who met with parents to attempt to reconcile the marriage. These family court service agencies proved fertile ground for a less divisive and more collaborative approach, although such efforts were hampered while an admission of wrongdoing remained a legal requirement for divorce (Brown, 1982)"-- Provided by publisher. |
