Your family law or divorce case could be resolved amicably
using the following methods:
Reach a mutual agreement through the use of a mediator. Two opposing parties sit down together with a trained mediator to help facilitate discussion. A mediator doesn’t give solutions or answers but helps the two sides communicate and hear each other to come to a mutual agreement.
Make use of a team of professionals when choosing collaboration as your alternative dispute resolution. This option involves two opposing parties, lawyers, and other trained professionals like parenting and financial experts, to help reach an agreement. The collaboration process focuses on a team of people working together to reach a common goal.
As a preventative alternative dispute resolution, facilitation helps to ward off a dispute in the beginning stages of a disagreement. This option is often used between two or more parties who need help identifying everyone’s interests. Not all facilitations end in a mutual agreement, but rather help everyone understand each other.
If Alternative Dispute Resolutions Don’t Work:
Family Cases
We believe in trying to resolve cases using any of the above forms of ADR. However, if your family law case is still unresolved, Donita King Law Offices does offer litigation services for family cases only.
All Other Cases
Donita King provides mediation services to assist parties if various areas to achieve mutual agreement. If Mediation doesn’t work, or the parties prefer, Donita King is also an experienced arbitrator and is available to provide services in that capacity.
We have a proven track record of advocating client disputes to help resolve your case.
