ADR in Family Law

ADR, or Alternative Dispute Resolution, in Family Law refers to methods for resolving disputes outside of court, such as mediation or arbitration. These approaches encourage parents or parties to collaborate and reach agreements regarding child custody, visitation, and property division, often more quickly, flexibly, and privately than traditional court proceedings. ADR aims to reduce conflict, costs, and emotional stress, fostering solutions that better suit the family’s needs. It’s a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps facilitate communication and negotiation to achieve mutually acceptable outcomes.
