Over the past two decades, virtually all areas of family law have
undergone major doctrinal and theoretical changes - from the
definition of marriage, to the financial and parenting consequences
of divorce, to the legal construction of parenthood. An equally
important set of changes has transformed the resolution of family
disputes. This 'paradigm shift' in family conflict resolution has
reshaped the practice of family law and has fundamentally altered
the way in which disputing families interact with the legal system.
Moreover, the changes have important implications for the way that
family law is understood and taught. This volume examines the
contours of this paradigm shift in family conflict resolution and
explores its implications for family law scholarship and practice.
The interdisciplinary compilation includes contributions from
lawyers, legal academics, social scientists and mental health
professionals. As the articles in the volume demonstrate, the
transformation in family conflict resolution holds considerable
promise for disputing families, but it also raises a number of
challenges. These challenges include concerns about the
institutional competence of courts, the surrender of fact-finding
and decision-making to individuals without legal training, the loss
of autonomy and privacy for family members subject to continuing
court oversight and the disjunction between problem-solving justice
and authoritative legal norms. By exploring both the promise of the
new paradigm and its potential pitfalls, this volume engages family
law scholars and offers insights to judges, practitioners and
policy makers responsible for serving families in conflict.
