Coffee with Claire #39 – Commonly Asked Questions Blog Series

December 10, 2018

What is ADR?

Writer’s note: This blog series is meant to act as responses to “quick” questions you may have for attorneys.  Think of these answers as a “quick” answer you might receive over coffee from your friendly neighborhood attorney.

 

ADR, or Alternative Dispute Resolution, is a way for people to resolve their conflict other than having a judge decide.  ADR is often less expensive and can take less time than litigation.  ADR can include:

 

• A meeting between the parties (and perhaps also attorneys) to discuss and resolve conflict; or


• Mediation, where a neutral helps the parties resolve their conflict or dispute; or


• Early Neutral Evaluation, where one or two neutrals help parties in a divorce or custody resolve social or financial disputes; or


• Arbitration, where a neutral listens to the parties and then makes a decision on their case.

 

There are additional ADR options as well depending on your case and your location.  Contacting an attorney to discuss options available in your case can be a great cost-saving move.

If you have questions about a divorce or custody proceeding, please contact Claire Tralle to set up a free initial telephone call.
