5. What do family lawyers really think of FDR?
In 2015 Susan Hamilton-Green surveyed about 110 practitioners to explore what family lawyers really thought about Family Dispute Resolution. Some of the responses were surprising.
It showed that FDR is a significant aspect of advice given by family lawyers, and that they balanced many factors when advising and directing their clients to FDR. It also highlighted various areas important for FDRPs in their ongoing relationships with family lawyers.
Susan Hamilton-Green is a family lawyer and a specialist in Family Law (LIV) since 1990. She is a trained arbitrator and conflict coach and provides mediation training, coaching, and supervision.
