This book is the first to investigate the effects of participation
in separation or divorce proceedings on femicide (murder of a
female), femicide-suicide, homicide, and suicide. Because
separation is one of the most significant predictors of domestic
violence, this book is exclusively devoted to theorizing,
researching, and preventing lethal domestic violence or other
assaults triggered by marital separation. The authors provide
evidence supporting the use of an estrangement-specific risk
assessment and estrangement-focused public education to prevent
murders and assaults. This information is needed not only by
instructors in criminal justice and sociology programs, but by
researchers theorizing about or investigating domestic violence. In
the world of practitioners, family court judges, divorce mediators,
family lawyers, prosecutors involved in bail hearings, shelter
staff, and family counselors urgently need this resource. Ellis et
al. include discussion questions and chapter objectives to support
learners in the classroom or in community-based settings, and
instructor support material includes PowerPoint lecture slides,
additional teaching and research resources, and a test bank. This
text advocates convincingly for prevention of domestic violence,
and gives academics and practitioners the tools they need. This

This book is an important tool for any mediator who works with
divorce and couples in understanding the impact domestic violence
can have on the mediating process. --Bruce E. Antman, J.D.,
Director, The M.A.N.E. Institute, Los Angeles Conflicts associated
with marital separation and divorce have traditionally been settled
by lawyers through negotiations. Since 1980 an increasing
proportion of these conflicts have been settled or resolved through
the process of marital conflict mediation. But supporters of each
approach remain at odds, each criticizing the other in an
ideologically driven standoff. Now Mediating and Negotiating
Marital Conflicts presents an empirically grounded discussion of
the outcomes of negotiation and mediation. Based on the authors'
comparative evaluation of marital separation and divorce clients of
lawyers in private practice and clients of a court-based mediation
service, this volume is designed to stimulate theory-guided,
problem-focused research on spousal violence and power imbalances
in divorce mediation. While building up theory, the authors also
provide crucial, detailed information on implementing court-based
mediation services in a way that protects often powerless partners
from further abuse and other harmful consequences. A special
chapter also considers the impact of the separation process on
children. Written for practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and
students, Mediating and Negotiating Marital Conflicts contributes
to knowledge that is valuable in a variety of fields, including
social work, clinical/counseling psychology, gender studies,
criminology/criminal justice, family studies, and law.
