High conflict separations pose significant risks for emotional harm to children, as well as substantial challenges for professionals, agencies and the courts. Almost by definition these are cases that will be resolved by use of the justice system and involve multiple court appearances, and not infrequently will result in proceedings in more than one court, with the prospect of concurrent family, criminal and child welfare proceedings.

Nick is a leading international authority on legal issues related to families and children, including the role of children in the courts, high conflict separations and parental alienation, domestic violence and child witnesses justice. Much of his research is interdisciplinary and collaborative. His work is frequently cited by judges in Canada and other countries.
