www.integral-corp.com - Integrative Family Law
Carol Bailey conceived of practicing family law in a way we now call Integrative Family Law. During the many years she served as a Guardian ad Litem for children in difficult family law cases she observed how often the legal process itself was the cause of needless destruction of significant relationships important to the well being of both the parents and the children. The primary relationship adversely affected by the legal proceedings was that of the parents of the children, soon to be ex-spouses or ex-partners. Many times, along with the deterioration of trust and ability to work cooperatively over the lives of their children, the parents saw their relationships with their in-laws, friends and larger social circle begin to disintegrate to the detriment of their long term well being and that of their children. This result need not be the case.
