abstract="This article describes a court-community model program for high conflict divorced families that is designed to reduce the level of inter-parental conflict including: a) child exposure to inter-parental conflict; and b) the frequency of re-litigation over residential arrangements and parenting plans. The six-session (16-hour) program combines conflict resolution and group/community support. The program provides a “Personal Support Team” and “Personal Plan of Action” to help each parent control emotions and maintain agreement. The results of research conducted to explore the effect of the program on level of triangulation and inter-parental conflict, as well as the frequency of re-litigation over parenting plans, residential arrangements, and parenting time are reported.<p />",
