About this Unit
This unit explores the rapidly growing field of family dispute resolution. It builds on skills and understandings developed in 200633 Family Law and 200294 Mediation to deepen students' knowledge of and capacity to assist separated parents to resolve disputes about their children. Particular attention is given to processes concerning children and processes to assist families who may present with highly complex family dynamics, including the presence of multiple forms of family violence. Students may arrange a workplace placement with a family dispute resolution provider as an assessment option.
