When you are retained to deal with family violence issues in a family law matter, you face an array of serious, nuanced, and ongoing risks and obligations. And the stakes could not be higher. Because of their complexity, there is never a “one-size-fits-all” solution in these cases; both clients and the courts expect practical, appropriate, and safe solutions. Our presenters provide you with their best practices for representing either side of a family violence case and effective strategies to help you manage these important - and difficult - cases in a holistic manner.

  • Gain insights into how judges, social scientists, and legal practitioners view family violence in family law cases
  • Learn how to craft and execute practical, meaningful, and solution-oriented approaches to these cases
  • Be aware of the factors you need to consider in individualized safety planning
  • Understand the importance of bringing these cases to a fair and just conclusion, in the best interests of the children and the family
