Summary

Tune into IndyBar's family law section biannual Open Meeting for valuable insights and hear from section leadership about plans for the 2026. Collaborative practice in family law is designed to be an integrative process, yet many "collaborative" cases move forward without any neutral financial or mental health professionals. When neutrals aren't involved, the process can be more costly and increase likelihood that a case falls out of the collaborative model. This program explores the value that neutral professionals bring and how you can work effectively with them to better serve your clients.

Key Takeaways:

Why neutral financial and mental health professionals are essential to collaborative cases
How neutral professionals improve outcomes for clients and collaborative teams
How not using neutrals can increase costs and likelihood of cases leaving the collaborative process
Best practices for building and working with strong collaborative teams

Featuring: Beth Correll, Ameriprise Advisors; Natalie Snyder, Cross Glazier Reed Burroughs PC; William Steele, PhD; Amy Stewart, Mallor Grodner Plummer LLP
