Ilana Tamari's thesis as part of her Master in Laws, was done in the area of Game Theory and Family Law. 

Game Theory offers litigants and parties a way to achieve solid results, where the pie they divide grows as interests are explored and parties' needs are met.

Game Theory can be best conceptualized as 1 + 1 = 3, where each party explores meeting their needs while considering the needs of the other, then commensurate with that, the "pie" grows exponentially. 

Mediators along with lawyers can be instrumental in helping to "grow" the pie.
