carl Michael, could you say what you are specifically referring to here: "Is this kind of description even 'appropriate' coming from a non-lawyer?" Aren't managing conflict and educating about the divorce process mainstays of the coaching process? What does your lawyer self think crosses the line?

Gary Direnfield has a recent blog post that offers some insight on the standards Judges use in making changes to parenting agreements, and in general. I agree with him that if they know these kind of things in advance, it may help them resist the 'encouragements' many of them receive to exaggerate things and 'go for the win' and instead use our Collaborative Practice approach to create what will work.

What do you think of the perspective he offers? I.E., maintain Status Quo in the absence of a material change of circumstance?

It also left me with some 'lawyer' questions..... Is this kind of description even 'appropriate' coming from a non-lawyer? Does it constitute giving legal advice / practicing law?
Is it perhaps more effective when it comes from a non-lawyer?
Is it perhaps most effective when a lawyer being considered by a client shares and agrees with the insight offered by the non-lawyer?
