OUR FAMILY IN TWO HOMES

Resources for Innovative
Divorce Professionals

Our Story

Our Family in Two Homes was created by Jacinta Gallant, an experienced collaborative family lawyer who decided to completely stop litigating after 20 years in practice. Jacinta wanted more meaningful engagement with her clients so she could enjoy going to work again. She wanted families to divorce more peacefully and productively, and for collaborative professionals to stand out as innovators who care about families. She wanted to work with the values that led her to law school in the first place – to help people and make the world a better place.

So, Jacinta created Our Family in Two Homes to use with her own clients. It completely changed her practice. And now, it is being used by lawyers and mediators around the world!

Our Story

Our Family in Two Homes was created by Jacinta Gallant, a collaborative family lawyer and mediator who decided to completely stop litigating after 20 years in practice. Jacinta wanted more meaningful and productive engagement with her clients and she wanted to enjoy going to work again. She found a way to work with the values that led her to law school in the first place – to help people and make the world a better place.

When Jacinta created Our Family in Two Homes to use with her own clients, it truly transformed her practice. And now, these resources are being used by lawyers and mediators around the world – who are helping more families make a peaceful transition to two homes!

Our Mission

As divorce professionals, we’ve seen first-hand the impact that conflict and court processes have on families.

Our mission is to help families thrive – not just survive – through life’s transitions, and to create resources to enhance the work of the important professionals who support them. We want innovative and caring divorce professionals to stand out in their communities so that more families get the help they need.

… And we want to change the world for the better (of course).

Workbooks that Work

Why the Workbooks Work

The Theory Behind It

Our resources were developed based on the Insight Approach to Conflict, which helps people in conflict understand and address the threats that get in the way of productive dialogue, opening up their pathways to learning something new while bringing about transformative change in their patterns of interaction.

Self-Reflection and Curiosity

Our resources encourage client self-reflection with carefully-crafted, open questions that prepare clients for receptive engagement with their lawyer or mediator, and their co-parent. The focus is on cultivating a sense of curiosity and discovery at a time when these are often lost, which prepares both parties for dialogue rather than debate.

Autonomy and Respect

Our guiding principle is “Never Cut What Can Be Untied” (Joseph Joubert 1790). When trust and connection are challenged, our clients face a tough decision: “Do I cut and run, or do I commit to the work of untying this painful knot?”. Our resources respect our clients’ ability to do the hard – but important – work to make a healthy transition to two homes, and are created with the belief that with the right support, people can be empowered to make the best decisions for their new kind of family.
