Francoise
Bonnaillie-Valmorin
I first showed an interest in alternative dispute resolution in 2001, aware of the fact that the best order (more efficient and easily complied with) is the one tailored made by the parties themselves with their advisors.
In England, I am a member of Resolution, a community of family justice professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve issues in a constructive way.
