The Guide also provides information to help teachers identify how they can be most helpful to the families and courts without getting caught on the middle of the parents’ conflict. Family court professionals and the roles they play are defined, as well as the type of information they request from teachers or school administrators. This Guide is designed specifically for educators who will find it useful in navigating all aspects of the family law process. | | Click here for free download... | | | | | CONFERENCE OF INTEREST
