The practice involves a structured negotiation process facilitated by a neutral third party to assist individuals in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in reaching a mutually agreeable resolution to their marital dissolution. It’s a form of alternative dispute resolution intended to minimize the adversarial nature often associated with traditional divorce proceedings. As an example, a couple seeking to divide assets and establish a parenting plan might utilize this approach instead of relying solely on court intervention.
The importance of this resolution method lies in its potential to reduce conflict, save costs, and provide greater control over the outcome for the involved parties. Historically, reliance on court-ordered decisions could leave individuals feeling unheard or dissatisfied. This process, however, allows for tailored solutions reflecting the specific needs and circumstances of the family. The collaborative nature encourages communication and can foster a more amicable co-parenting relationship moving forward.
