To our knowledge, there are no reference materials or links that relate specifically to team supported divorce as we have conceptualized it.

What does exist, are reference materials and links related to collaborative divorce.

Collaborative Divorce Links

The use of an interdisciplinary team in a collaborative family law process is generally accredited to the work of Peggy Thompson and Nancy Ross.  (link to their website www.collaborativedivorce.com)

The primary resource for collaborative divorce is the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, IACP.

Collaborative practice and collaborative divorce are often used interchangeably as if they were synonymous, but collaborative divorce is actually a subset of collaborative practice.  Collaborative practice is often used in divorce situations, but it can also be used in other family law matters such as estates.

www.collaborativedivorce.ca has links to numerous articles by lawyers, by coaches, and from the popular press.  This site is a key resource for anyone considering collaborative divorce.
