Review
'This book is the fine work of a mature scholar who stands solidly at the intersection of the family law and social science communities. Professor Schepard incisively interprets the history of child custody courts, critically evaluates current practices and policies, and confidently points these communities in the direction of the future - a future where interdisciplinary collaboration between legal and mental health professionals will transform the traditional legal adversary system into family courts that can support rather than destroy the integrity, dignity, and strengths of divorcing parents and their children.' Janet R. Johnston, San Jose State University
'In addition to writing a seminal treatise on the major issues affecting the field of family law today, Professor Schepard has crafted an agenda for family law reform for the balance of the 21st century. Building on his standing as a scholar and pioneer of expansion of legal access and family court reform, Professor Schepard has provided an invaluable resource for family lawyers, judges, mediators, mental health practitioners, and researchers.' Forrest S. Mosten, UCLA School of Law
'Professor Schepard's comprehensive review of the inadequacies of the traditional adversary system utilized in child custody courts, his compilation of the many interdisciplinary interventions in place around the world, and his agenda for reform should be mandatory reading for all family court policy makers as well as practitioners committed to developing a family court system dedicated to improving the lives of families and children.' Hon. Arline S. Rotman (ret.) Associate Justice, Massachusetts Probate and Family Court
'Children, Courts, and Custody presents a thoughtful analysis of the interaction between the family, legal and mental health systems that converge on divorcing parents and children. Lawyers, judges, mediators, custody evaluators, mental health professionals and policy makers will find this book provides a comprehensive overview of the field and a practical guide to family law reform.' Peter Salem, Association of Family and Conciliation Courts
'... an intelligent and humanely written book ... presents a powerful case for the need to consider some form of joint custody arrangement and parenting plan as the norm, or default, option ... considerable reference to psychological research and findings ... this book deserves to be widely read by professionals (and parents) concerned with divorce and child custody issues.' Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology
