“Drafting Agreements for Separation and Divorce” is a half-day seminar featuring the newly published book, The Master Agreement, Third Edition.
More
separation and divorce cases are being settled than ever before through
mediation and negotiation. Therefore,
having the proper tools and skills to explore all relevant issues and to draft
comprehensive and effective agreements is a necessity.
The
importance of drafting a clear, concise, and comprehensive agreement cannot be
understated. Why? Because there will be much less likelihood of
future conflict due to ambiguity and/or lack of guidance. It will be easier to understand and follow. It will be easier to enforce.
This
seminar is designed to provide practical skills specific to the drafting of
agreements and memorandums of understanding as well as utilizing a master form
or outline to fully cover and organize issues in logical categories. It will provide attendees with critical and invaluable skills and knowledge to assist, advise, and protect parties in the dissolution of their marriage.
