Arbitration

Similar to mediation, arbitration allows spouses the ability to navigate their divorce outside of a public courtroom, but with one primary difference: the assistance of an arbitrator—who may also be a private judge.

  • The arbitrator serves as a neutral third party and presides over the dispute much as they would in a courtroom, weighing the accounts of the facts of both parties in order to make a ruling.

While this is often helpful for couples who have reached an impasse or stalemate in their divorce negotiations and wish to resolve the dispute without formal litigation, it is important to note that arbitration is a type of informal divorce trial, called an arbitration hearing, and is subject to the following:

  • Involvement from both parties and their respective attorneys
  • Defined procedures and a timeline for the Arbitrator to render a decision, or “award”
  • Creates binding decisions
  • Can be used in conjunction with other divorce options, including litigation, mediation, and both collaborative and cooperative divorce
