What techniques does THE NEGOTIATION COLLABORATIVE use to address power/knowledge imbalances between a couple?
One of the most frequently encountered imbalances is when one of the parties has more knowledge of finances, tax ramifications, methods of valuation of assets, businesses, pensions. By referring the other spouse to experts in one or more of those areas, a “knowledge imbalance” may begin to be redressed. The advisory attorney, during mediation, may be a forceful advocate for and coach of a party whose power and knowledge need augmenting.
