Yeah, many Paralegals don’t have the necessary professionalism needed for family law. Really, the professionals most needed in family law are social workers. Their is already so much in the law that is codified (table support, equalization, presumption of parenting time by both parents etc) that problems requiring court applications really only crop up because of miscommunication/ poor communication/ grudges (which may have been avoided by proactively using a social worker to navigate co-parenting) or else because one side is *extremely* unreasonable - often times due to untreated high-functioning mental illness.
The conflict needs to be dialed down (whereas court ramps it up), and paralegals do not get mandatory training in colloborative law or high conflict personalities (who won’t respect a paralegal any more than they respect a Judge’s Orders)
