Research Watch: 2026 Year in Review for Family Law Professionals
Michael A. Saini, PhD, MSW, RSW
As 2026 comes to a close, this webinar will provide an evidence-informed review of key developments from the past year in family law research, drawing from Family Court Review and other leading peer-reviewed journals. With a focus on practical application, the session will explore evolving insights into parent-child contact issues, family violence, co-parenting dynamics, and child well-being in separated and divorced families. Participants will gain clarity on what emerging findings mean for practice and policy, including updates on contested concepts such as alienation, coercive control, and the impact of virtual and hybrid parenting arrangements. Attendees will gain an understanding of how the latest science can inform better outcomes for families and children navigating family law processes.
