This Introduction for Professionals video illustrates a typical divorce case that is becoming high-conflict and how the court uses New Ways for Families to contain the conflict, protect the children, and help the parent co-parent effectively. This video is for demonstration purposes.

How Does it Work? A structured 4-step parenting skills method designed to reduce the impact of conflict on children in potentially high-conflict cases. This method emphasizes strengthening skills for positive future behavior, rather than focusing on past negative behavior - while still acknowledging it. It is designed to save courts time, to save parents money, and to protect children as their families re-organize in new ways after a separation or divorce. For married or never-married parents.
