We at the California Institute for Consensual Divorce (CICD) continue to study and shape the most productive ways in which divorce and other forms of dissolution occur. Ways that take into account what is best from a financial and family-child-focused perspective. From our years of experience in this area we know how difficult the divorce process can be. We continue to build on the ideas and the trends of CDR which assume the positive effect of flexibility and teamwork. See more here
