Going through a separation or divorce is difficult for everyone involved. Mediation and arbitration are options where couples in the midst of separation and divorce try to settle their dispute with a neutral person without having to resort to full-blown litigation. We understand that this process can be confusing, so we're here to help you understand your options so you can choose the best one for your case.
Mediation and arbitration are typically done in the hopes that both parties can reach a fair and equitable agreement for everyone involved. The parties will usually meet with a mediator (or arbitrator) individually or with their lawyers present in order to discuss what they want out of the proceedings. The mediator will then put together a proposal which each party must agree upon before it becomes final. If both parties agree, no further court action is necessary; if not, the matter goes back to court for trial.
