Although I began my alternative dispute resolution (ADR) career in the labor/employment field, I have since expanded my practice to include domestic relation mediation and child protection related work. Perhaps this seems like an odd combination to some. However, I see a lot of similarities in these areas--work and family--in that both deal with intensely personal issues that affect major portions of our life's endeavors.
I discuss neutrality principles generally and labor and employment issues in particular on my other blogs. See On Being a Neutral, and On New Mexico Labor and Employment Law. Here, I will focus on "matters of family, child protection and home." In this, my inaugural posting, I will address New Medico separation, divorce and parentage proceedings, from perspective of a domestic relations mediator.
