Interdisciplinary Cooperation in the Czech Republic and Cochem Practice
Interdisciplinary Cooperation in the Czech Republic and Cochem Practice

Summary/Abstract: The following article aims to present the principles of interdisciplinary cooperation with a focus on the Cochem practice and to show the possibilities of its application in courts not only in the Czech Republic – attention will also be paid to the situation in Slovakia. In proceedings in family law matters, in which the arrangements between parents and minor children are regulated, it involves a relatively new and still not yet institutionalised approach. The basic characteristic of the Cocham practice is the attempt to minimise parental conflict and to make parents find an amicable solution together. The process involves professionals from different sectors to help parents in the divorce period to find a joint solution to their conflict, one that works best for their child. In this article, I mainly point out how this method of interdisciplinary cooperation is applied in practice in Czech courts, with a comparative overlap to the Slovak court environment.
