Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a way for separating or divorcing couples to resolve conflicts without resorting to traditional court proceedings. ADR focuses on collaboration, communication, and finding mutually acceptable solutions, often making the process faster, less stressful, and less expensive. Common types of ADR include:

  1. Mediation– where a neutral professional helps both parties reach an agreement;
  2. Collaborative law– where each party works with their lawyer in a cooperative process to settle issues and
  3. Arbitration– where an impartial arbitrator makes decisions on specific disputes agreed to by the parties.
