A09, Practice Guide to “Conscious Uncoupling” – Susan Keyes, Helen Stein, Lisa Millhauser (2.1 CME Credits Family)

When a couple determines that the next step in their relationship is separation or divorce,
mindfulness during the transition is a great challenge. “Conscious Uncoupling” is essential
to resolving family matters. Our session will focus on the process options that allow for a
conscious uncoupling, consistent with the best interests for families. Workshop participants
will be provided with techniques to help clients achieve a peaceful dissolution of marriage
from start to finish, using family-centered protocols. We will cover several alternative dispute
resolution methods, the pros and cons of each, and concentrate on actual case examples from
the pre-suit, pro-se mediation model, where the parties often seek to rely upon the mediator
for guidance. We will explore in detail the ethical and practical considerations of each model.
We are licensed attorneys, each with more than 25 years of relevant experience, and together
we have helped thousands of couples consciously navigate divorce.
