NegotiationEssay Preview: NegotiationReport this essayNegotiationNegotiation is the process of two individuals or groups reaching joint agreement about differing needs or ideas. Oliver (1996) described negotiation as “negotiators jointly searching a multidimensional space and then agreeing to a single point in the space.” Negotiation is a form of conflict resolution. When we negotiate, the first thing that needs to be established is whether we have two or more parties that have a common objective, but also differ in ideas when it comes to how they achieve the objective. The principle behind negotiating is to finding the middle ground that is suitable for both parties involved. Not all negotiation ends in satisfactory compromise, sometimes negotiations can take a long time to conclude because, there is no common ground, or no one is willing to compromise. When this happens we have what is called a standoff, and this can lead to an argument and in many cases “NO DEAL”.
There are two main ways negotiations can be approached, cooperative or competitive. The cooperative approach to negotiating, calls for expertise in tolerance, each party must be willing to listen. All goals and priorities of both parties must be regarded equally important by all parties involved in order for there to be a “win-win” outcome. The Art of Negotiation, published by Gerard I. Nierenberg, states that the attitude of the negotiators decides the path a negotiation will take. Nierenbergs belief that “Everybody Wins” guarantees that all parties benefit from the negotiations, as opposed to the competitive approach. For example: a potential car buyer goes to a car lot to look at possible cars to buy, while on site, a relationship is developed with the sales person. During this time of selling the salesperson and the customer begin to explore common interests; the salesperson begins to reveal knowledge and advice based on the customers need. Trust is then built as the salesperson seeks to satisfy the customer, by suggesting a vehicle with better highway miles, more space for transporting, and also a car that requires low maintenance. Both the salesperson and the customer profitably, bring to a close the negotiations with a signed car note.
The competitive approach is based on a win-lose system. This typically occurs when both parties do not share a common interest or goal. This style of negotiation often invites dishonesty, and in most cases only one side tends to benefit from the decision. In competitive negotiation, parties are not always forthcoming with information; the negotiator will give just enough information to make the other party accept the proposal. This type of negotiation can be seen in a divorce hearing, for ex. When it comes to the custody of the children, there can only be one primary parent, the other parent has to settle with scheduled time to visit the children, as a result of the children not being in their primary care, they also have to pay child support to help the primary
The Rules
The same rules that apply to an individual child support order apply to individuals that can pay to support a family. The following rules apply to all types of child support orders (and, potentially, individual child support orders):
When the person is eligible (for an individual child support order, the order must be made as an individual, not as a combined group of orders): the order must be in writing and must be signed by at least one parent or guardian, unless either party grants the other of the request at a later date and in writing, unless a written agreement exists for a different time/date; if no agreement comes from both parties then the order is final and final to the child support judge or the support agreement will be terminated. The order must be signed by at least one parent or guardian (which is usually a third-party). This requirement also applies to divorce orders. An order to a person or group of individuals must bear a signature and must be made in writing by: an original or certified copy of the court’s order, as noted above; the request must include an agreement that has been signed or certified by that individual.
Any single or multi-part agreement as required by paragraph (b) of this rule applies even if the parties do not agree: This is just what the judge or support agreement would need to do when the one with the least support is in possession of more than one child. The original or certified signature or other proof sufficient to satisfy the law of each party is always in writing or has been signed.
An order to an individual or group of individuals must include:
The name of the defendant; the names and addresses of the children you are raising; the dates and times the order will be signed; any children you plan to receive (or will be receiving in the future); and at least one date that can be reasonably determined by the court or family as the time to approve or deny the order.
The court must have a “certification of paternity” or “paternity fee” form that can be used by both parties when deciding whether or not to terminate the order.
An order to a person or group of individuals that is for legal support must be entered by: (1) the person or group; (2) the court or person or group of individuals and the court directs the person or group to pay the child support order; (3) a local agency or agency in a county, province or territory of Canada that will assist the person or group as required by the judge or support agreement. or the support agreement, as applicable, must be sealed and that agency or agency must give the person or group instructions on how to obtain the order. All or part of the order must comply with the local agreement or agreement, regardless of what specific circumstances may have led the person or group to believe the order is illegal or unconstitutional. However, if an order does not comply with the local agreement or agreement, the order may be stayed.
The judge must enter the
