The paper describes the development of an integrated multi-agent online
dispute resolution environment called IMODRE that was designed to assist parties
involved in Australian family law disputes achieve legally fairer negotiated outcomes.
The system extends our previouswork in developing negotiation support systems Family_
Winner and AssetDivider. In this environment one agent uses a Bayesian Belief
Network expertly modeled with knowledge of the Australian Family Law domain to
advise disputants of their Best Alternatives to Negotiated Agreements. Another agent
incorporates the percentage split of marital property into an integrative bargaining
process and applies heuristics and game theory to equitably distribute marital property
assets and facilitate further trade-offs. We use this system to add greater fairness
to Family property law negotiations
