Greetings!
This is a reminder that if you register by March 21, 2013 for our Fundamentals of Family Law course with Nancy Foster, JD and Sarah Killingsworth, JD you will receive $60 off the full fee. (Please see below). We have also included information on our other upcoming trainings:
 In two days, you will learn the basic substantive California family law on community property, parenting and custody, child and spousal support and Federal tax law applicable in divorces. The format is lecture and discussion with some small group exercises. A manual with detailed information on each subject area is included. This is an introductory course directed toward non-attorneys, although attorney-mediators new to family law will find it very helpful.

Understanding children's views provides the practitioner with a more integrated view of the child in the family and can lead to more informed recommendations, decisions, and work with parents. This workshop summarizes relevant research and the rationale for listening to children in different forums where decisions about children's lives are made. A structured child-focused interview model for obtaining children's views in mediation, collaborative family law, custody evaluations, guardian ad litem, and parenting coordination processes, as well as court-ordered therapy, is described, with opportunities for discussion and group exercises. Content includes description of six phases of the interview model, developmental issues in the use of language and questions, techniques for interviewing children, guidance for how to provide feedback to parents when appropriate, and examples of child interviews. Date: June 21, 2013; 9:00 am - 4:30 pm Instructor: Joan B. Kelly, Ph.D. Fee: $275 (Early Registration: $225 if paid by 5/10/13; $250 if paid by 5/24/13.).
