When going through divorce or other family law issues, every discussion with your partner can feel like a battle that nobody wins. This inability to find common ground and communicate constructively can precipitate divorce proceedings toward costly, drawn-out litigation that leaves both parties emotionally and financially wrung out.
Legal Alternatives That Help Alleviate Stress And Pressure
It is because of this contentious atmosphere surrounding litigation that alternative dispute resolution is increasingly common. At The Law Office of Julia M. Pendleton, attorney Julia Pendleton helps clients understand the various options at their disposal, including:
- Mediations: Mediations are a key aspect of our practice. In most cases, a mediation session proves to be a good use of time and resources as both parties can achieve positive results by resolving most, if not all, of their issues during these structured meetings. Whether pursuing mediation to obtain an out-of-court settlement or pursuant to the court’s mandate, Julia helps you to stay focused on the ultimate goal: resolving your issues as efficiently and effectively as possible while avoiding litigation.
- Arbitrations: Similar to mediation, arbitration offers a fast, cost-effective and private alternative to litigation. A third-party arbitrator (often a retired judge or an experienced lawyer) will listen as both sides present evidence and make a case for their interests. After hearing both sides, the arbitrator will offer a ruling that will settle the issue.
No two couples or relationships are exactly alike. Similarly, no two divorces or other proceedings follow the same script. That is why Julia works one-on-one with you and takes the time to understand your individual needs and goals, all while tailoring our methods to fit your situation. If you and your partner would like to learn more about collaborative divorce and other alternative dispute resolution strategies, Julia encourages you to contact her firm and learn how she can help.
