Alternative Dispute Resolution - ADR concept on wooden cubes

In traditional litigation, people dig into entrenched positions and don’t give up those positions willingly. It is by its very nature adversarial and costly. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provides methods for solving family law issues.

 

Throughout ADR methods:

  • Both sides are represented by attorneys who advise them about the law.
  • The participants — the parties and their attorneys — agree to work together in good faith to try find an amicable resolution that satisfies both sides.
  • The attorneys usually enlist the help of specialists such as financial advisors, child specialists and divorce coaches to help the parties resolve specific issues.
  • During mediation, both sides can share information and freely discuss issues, knowing that what they say can’t be used against them in court.
  • These approaches encourage the parties to find common ground and problem-solve rather than construct barricades and rigid positions.
