A legal practice specializing in alternative dispute resolution for marital dissolution cases offers a structured process where a neutral third party facilitates resolution outside of court. This approach involves presenting evidence and arguments to an impartial arbitrator, who then renders a binding or non-binding decision. For example, a couple seeking to divide assets and establish a parenting plan might engage such a practice to avoid a potentially lengthy and expensive court trial.
The benefit of engaging these specialists lies in their ability to provide a more confidential, efficient, and often less adversarial environment for resolving disputes. Historically, reliance on litigation frequently exacerbated conflict and imposed significant emotional and financial burdens on families. This approach aims to mitigate those burdens by allowing parties to maintain greater control over the process and outcome.
