Question 1

Can you explain what the collaborative practice matter involving parties from a large regional town in Victoria is about?

Accepted Answer

The collaborative practice matter involves parties who were originally from a large regional town in Victoria, who had extensive business interests in the town and substantial assets included in the business, personal, and in their superannuation fund. The husband had extended their company and personal debts beyond a level that was sustainable from the income earned by their business.

Question 2

What is the collaborative practice approach, and who was involved in the process for this matter?

Accepted Answer

Collaborative practice is a process that involves parties and their legal representatives working together to resolve disputes without going to court. For this matter, a psychologist and an accountant also participated in the collaborative practice meetings, which were arranged to take place in Melbourne. The husband engaged a solicitor in Melbourne to act on his behalf, and the wife was represented by a solicitor from Queensland.

Question 3

Were the emotional issues of the parties involved in the collaborative practice addressed in this matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the psychologist who was part of the collaborative practice meetings met with the parties before the meetings to gain full knowledge of their emotional issues and concerns. A debriefing was also arranged with the professional members of the collaborative practice group before the meetings with the parties to ensure that they had full knowledge of emotional issues that might be disruptive to the meetings. The psychologist took control of the initial stages of the first meeting to set the tone and help the parties communicate with each other.

Question 4

Is Collaborative Practice effective in resolving matters arising from the breakdown of a relationship?

Accepted Answer

Collaborative practice can be an effective way to resolve matters arising from the breakdown of a relationship, as it allows parties to work together to reach a mutually beneficial outcome. However, its effectiveness depends on the willingness of the parties to participate and the complexity of the issues involved.

Question 5

Did Madonna, Uma Thurman, and Robin Williams use the collaborative approach to resolve matters arising from the breakdown in their marriages?

Accepted Answer

It is a common misconception that Madonna, Uma Thurman, and Robin Williams used collaborative practice to resolve matters arising from the breakdown of their marriages. While they may have used alternative dispute resolution methods, there is no evidence that they used collaborative practice specifically.
