Dispute resolution

Dispute resolution refers to a process used to resolve disputes between parties and includes informal and formal negotiation, mediation, arbitration, collaborative law and litigation. It can include combinations of several processes that work for your family situation. It can include individual counselling, support for children, financial advice, parent coordination, med-arb (combination of mediation and arbitration). Our network is committed to trying to help you reach a resolution by supporting you with knowledgeable experts to guide your emotionally, financially and legally.

How Dispute Resolution may benefit your family

Dispute Resolution falls on a continuum and there are various ways that couples resolve their differences. Each family is unique and you can decide which process, or combination of professionals will work best for your family. For example, if you or your children need emotional support, a mental health professional may be able to help. If you want a parenting plan, need help to decide on support or division of assets, a family law mediator, lawyer and or a financial expert may be able to assist.

Is there a difference in final legal arrangements?

No matter your circumstance, divorce is a legal process with final outcomes. But there are different ways to get to a final resolution. We offer options that allow couples to choose their own resolution instead of having one imposed on them.
