This book was released on 2006 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The author suggests using lessons from Game Theory to improve the negotiation process and to construct more fitting agreements upon the breakdown of the family unit in the cases of separation or divorce. Currently many settlement agreements are inappropriate for the parties for a variety of reasons, including not establishing the parties' true interests during the negotiations. Furthermore, an inappropriate agreement may not be reopened by the court, given strict procedural and jurisprudential requirements. Game Theory lessons promote communication, cooperation, and forgiveness without allowing either party to be manipulated. These elements, already found in Collaborative Law, favour incorporating the lessons from Game Theory into this negotiation process." --
