Your divorce may not have been your decision. Even though you are moving through the process, it can feel like you do not have much control over this very significant and impactful life event. A judge has the power to decide what your divorce order will look like, and this can make you feel powerless.
However, this does not need to be your experience, as you have options beyond litigating your divorce. Alternative dispute resolution, or ADR, provides you with various methods that give you a voice and the power to make decisions when it comes to reaching a divorce settlement.
ADR methods
At Giordano Law, PLC, our law firm understands the impact a divorce can have on you. The process itself can be overwhelming, emotional and confusing. Moreover, the final order could bear much power over your post-divorce life. This is especially true if minor children are involved.
Our experience allows us to work hard to provide our clients with optimal resolutions, which is why we explore ADR methods with our clients. Our law firm understands that each divorce matter is unique and requires its own unique resolution. Whether it is through negotiations, mediation or a collaborative approach, it is imperative that you fully understand each process and how they could benefit you over litigating your divorce.
Resolving your divorce with ADR
While the costs and length of time associated with litigation often prompt a spouse to consider ADR for their divorce, it is vital to understand how a mediated or Collaborative Divorce could benefit you and the entire divorce process.
To begin, when a couple uses ADR to resolve their divorce, they provide privacy and discretion to the process. Moreover, these methods allow for the final agreements to be individualized, as it is focused on the needs and wishes of the parties. ADR also provides flexibility and the ability to set a pace that works for the parties. Finally, these methods provide the platform to navigate certain concerns without the concern of repercussions that could come with litigation.
Navigating the divorce process can be challenging, so it is understandable that you may not realize all the options you have. A legal professional can help outline the divorce methods available to you, answering any questions or concerns you might have. Contact us if you’d like to learn more about all of your options.
