Family Law Section Meeting

Managing Complex and High Conflict Behavior in Family Law Cases

SPEAKERS
Bill Eddy | High Conflict Institute
Megan Hunter | High Conflict Institute

High conflict disputes are increasing in every legal setting, especially in family law. As the pandemic and shut-downs persist, families grow more stressed and those with high conflict personalities involved may become more aggressive. These disputes often involve one or more people with high-conflict behavior, characterized by:

-- All-or-nothing thinking
-- Unmanaged emotions
-- Extreme behavior
-- Preoccupation with blaming others
-- Prolonged, unresolved conflict
-- Drawing in many other people

Yet these disputes can generally be managed by understanding high conflict personalities and using skills to manage the dispute that are often different from ordinary conflict resolution methods.The presentation will be followed by a time for Q&A.

1.0 CLE will be provided.

Ingrid Carbone and Kate Rockas
Co-Chairs of the MCBA Family Law Section
