The Today’s Family Lawyer podcast welcomes Tara Dunne (OurFamilyWizard) and Pelumi Adeola (BHP Law) to discuss how technology is changing the narrative around adversarial divorce proceedings.
Promoting positive communication between those separating, and their representation, is critical. Alongside the work being done through alternative dispute resolution and by organisations like Resolution, what else can we do promote a more positive experience.
And where children are involved, how can we ensure they aren’t drawn into the war of words which can cause so much harm. How can we shield them both during divorce proceedings and beyond.
Tara and Pelumi discuss the move toward using online communication platforms to help support all those involved in the separation process to communicate more effectively and constructively.
They discuss the bygone days of the handover book, with it’s many flaws, errors, manipulation and deliberate deception. Where in many cases the child is exposed to harmful messaging and vitriol. To be replaced by a more modern, trustworthy, and collaborative technology.
As Pelumi says, the important thing for parents to remember is that they are divorcing each other, not their children, and we must place their wellbeing at the centre of considerations.
This interesting discussion explores how adopting technology has the potential to help family lawyers and their clients achieve more constructive outcomes.
