WHY TAKE THIS CLASS HERE?

This live, interactive class is facilitated by Vera Hailey, a retired Virginia magistrate, Supreme Court of Virginia certified mediator, and former therapeutic foster parent with extensive experience in family conflict, special-needs children, and Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court matters. This is not a prerecorded video.

Topics include:
• What behaviors help or hurt your position in court
• Common mistakes parents make in custody disputes
• How judges often view communication and co-parenting behavior
• Strategies for reducing conflict
• How parental conflict affects children
• Practical tools for difficult interactions
• Ways to demonstrate a child-focused, cooperative approach

 

No pending court case?

Many parents take this class simply to improve communication, reduce conflict, and better understand co-parenting dynamics. It also demonstrates a proactive commitment to acting in the best interests of the child.

Additional facilitator qualifications for the facilitator are available on the About Us page.
