GUEST: Karen Van Kooy on Navigating Coercion and Empowerment in Collaborative Divorce and Mediation

Can collaborative divorce or divorce mediation address pressure, coercion, and power imbalances more effectively than litigation? Join us for a deep dive into these questions with collaborative divorce attorney and mediator, Karen Van Kooy.  We share  our experiences and insights, contrasting the stark differences in handling a court-based divorce versus a collaborative law or mediated approach.

In this lively discussion, we unravel the complexities of coercion and imbalance that can surface in divorces. Karen shares her insights and strategies and explores the need for setting boundaries in the tricky terrain of power dynamics that can sometimes lead to coercion.
