Alternative dispute resolution allows you to minimize the costs, resources, and time involved in family legal disputes. It also allows you and your family to tailor a solution to your unique needs rather than wait for a decision to be handed down in court. While some courts will require certain forms of ADR, other jurisdictions will let the parties decide if they want to participate.

Family law mediation

Mediation allows parties to negotiate in a settling controlled by a mediator who may be a former judge or other legal professional. Mediators do not hand down decisions in your case, but will act as an impartial observer and will help maintain good faith discussions between the parties. In mediation, parties have to agree on the outcome or settlement in the case.

Arbitration

Submitting to arbitration is different than mediation because the decisions can be binding. Our attorneys will explore your rights and options in ADR and help you decide if arbitration is the right choice for you. In arbitration, the decision of your case is kept confidential and will not become a part of the public record like a normal court proceeding.

For more information about judicial reference or other forms of ADR, please contact our office. We have extensive experience in mediation and arbitration. Call us today to learn more about your rights and alternatives to court.
