Game Theory and the Transformation of Family Law

By Allan R. Koritzinsky and Kenneth H. Waldron

Principles derived from game theory are applied to family law, an arena often plagued by bitterness and what appears to be irrational behavior. The principles of game theory--the scientific study of how and why people make decisions--lends itself to the practice of family law in our traditional divorce system, one that often leads to rational but self-defeating sometimes destructive decision-making.

The authors propose a new approach lawyers and mediators can use to improve success rates, optimize outcomes for both parties, decrease conflict, divide property, determine custody arrangements, and establish constructive coparenting relationships, which benefits the whole family and especially the children.
