As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, it is no longer a peripheral issue in family law—it is central to it. In the collaborative divorce process—where parties and an interdisciplinary team work to reach durable agreements without court intervention—digital tools can support transparency and efficiency, but they can also be used to exert coercive control, harass, intimidate, or surveil. Understanding the digital landscape is now essential to effective screening, informed consent, and client safety planning.

In this dynamic, practical workshop, Steven Bradley focuses on how modern technologies intersect with collaborative divorce, domestic violence, and coercive control. Collaborative attorneys, financial specialists, and family specialists will learn how location tracking, social media, spyware, shared accounts, and AI-generated content can distort negotiations, undermine psychological safety, and compromise voluntary participation. The workshop highlights red flags, thoughtful screening questions, and team-based responses that preserve safety while keeping the matter on a non-litigated track when appropriate.

The session also examines the emerging role of artificial intelligence in collaborative practice—both as a powerful professional resource and a potential source of risk. Attendees will learn how AI can assist with meeting preparation, issue-spotting, option generation, drafting summaries and client communications, and organizing financial and parenting information, while also understanding confidentiality concerns, verification requirements, ethical considerations, and the risk of bias or fabricated content if AI is used without clear safeguards.

A critical component of this workshop addresses cyberbullying, doxing, and other digital exposure risks, including how personal information is collected, shared, and weaponized online during separation and divorce. Participants will learn practical strategies to help clients—and the collaborative team—reduce digital exposure, secure devices and accounts, set safer communication norms, and respond effectively to online harassment, threats, and reputation attacks that can derail a collaborative process

Workshop Objectives:

• Identify technology-facilitated coercive control and cyberbullying that may impact suitability for a collaborative process
• Use screening questions and interdisciplinary coordination to respond to digital abuse while preserving client autonomy and safety
• Create technology safety plans for clients (devices, accounts, children’s tech, shared platforms, and communication boundaries)
• Manage digital information and evidence thoughtfully in an out-of-court setting (collection, preservation, authenticity, and documentation)
• Apply AI tools to collaborative practice responsibly (use-cases, confidentiality, verification, ethics, and bias) 
• Protect personal and professional online presence, including reducing doxing risk for collaborative practitioners
