Mediation
Alternative Ways to Resolve your Divorce and other Family Law Issues
Today, there is a growing trend in alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation. By the terms and conditions of the contract or by request of the parties, many business disputes are no longer decided in court and are referred, rather, to arbitration or mediation proceedings. This is particularly true in the family law context. Many courts advocate alternative forms of dispute resolution to encourage the parties to come to terms that everyone can agree upon.

Three methods Mr. Dohner believe work well in family law are collaborative law, mediation, and arbitration, any of which may keep you out of court on contested hearings.
Mediation
Mediation is a process in which you and your spouse meet with an individual trained in the art of mediation. This person, called a mediator, will not make any decisions for you, but will guide the discussion and assist you and your spouse in reaching an agreement on as many issues as possible.
Arbitration
Arbitration is a process similar to trial, but allows you and your spouse input on the choice of the arbitrator. It also allows you to accelerate the finalization of your divorce. Mr. Dohner is a trained and certified Family Law Arbitrator.
