3) I don't know what kind of insurance/regulation they have
4) you negotiate separate from your spouse - I think parents need to learn how to communicate
together
5) business model focused on franchising
Generally, I support a non-adversarial approach to family law, but why not have a lawyer advising you at every step?
EDIT - the web-site seems very mis-leading about family lawyers - I don't think many family lawyers want to increase conflict so they can bill more hours. Most family lawyers I know never go to court, and only do collaborative.
